I just purchased a c. kurtzmann and sons baby grand serial #94326 and there are other numbers stamped on the desk and legs 2 11 9. Can anyone tell me how old the piano is and what these other numbers mean. This is my first piano for my 6 year old and I dont know much about them. All the keys work and it needs a good cleaning. Is this piano worth restoring?

thanks for your help

Manufactured in 1927. The other numbers are matching part numbers on all the parts of the piano. 1927 was of the better years for C.Kurtzman made in Buffulo N.Y. We restore them on occasion with good results.Though a comprehensive restoration can be the same $ as Steinway, it can be a great piano for the $ in that the all original unrestored core piano is of minimal value but fully restored is a better piano than what you could buy new for the same $.
Case wise they look very much like a Steinway. What size is your 5'1",5'6",5'10" ? There are pics of a 5'6" Kurtzman we restored under the featured pianos on my outdated website( major facelift soon) if you want to see your piano freshly restored though that was years ago. It was a Steinway M case copy 5'6"

If it was made in NY, the date is probably 1934. The factory was in Buffalo.
