Post the serial number here and one of us with a copy of the Pierce Piano Atlas can look up the year of manufacture for you.

Regards, A19576...now is that correct, because I think serial numbers are just numbers right? But that's all I could find, it was on the back like stamped into the wood. If it helps it's an artist console (probably 40") and should date to around the 1950s...but I honestly don't know what age it is.

That number can not be right. The last time they made a five digit Serial was in the 1890's In the 50's they are around 571300 Look inside for a longer number.

Yes, I agree with BDB : A19576 was made in 1976, according to Pierce

According to Pierce : "Since 1976 Kimball serial numbers are preceded by a letter; letters stand for: R=Kimball Brand, J=Jasper American private label, C=Conn, T=Misc. Kimball brand. Production of Grands stopped early 1996 and Verticals in April 1996." There are also A, S, B, D, numbers, but Pierce does not indicate what they stand for. All of these letter-preceded serial numbers are five digit numbers and cover the period from 1976 to 1996. Regards,

It says 1914 on it, but it is an unusual vertical piano.
The Serial Number is 73573
My sister in law has one and needs to sell it.
I've seen some similar with the ornate detail, but not one with the same as this one.
Thanks for your help.

It was made about 1900. I am sorry, but the chances are that she will get very little for it. People are giving away more old uprights than there is demand for.

It was made in Jasper, Indiana. They also made pianos under other brand names. A means Kimball; J is Jasper, C is Conn. They were making 40,000 pianos a year then!

Anyone with a Pierce guide able to look up a Kimball Baby Grand Model 5100 Serial D06828 for me? Just curious when and where it was built and approximate current value. It was a gift from some good friends and I want to make sure i insure it properly. Thank You. Greg

It dates to about 1981. Value depends on overall size, front to back, and current condition. Ask your tuner to give you a rough idea.
