I have an 1893 S&S A here and the string pattern matches.

No, it would be public domain starting in 1895. Patents then and now last for 17 years. Patent holders then and now try to come up with patentable modifications during that 17 year life in order to start the clock again on a new batch of intellectual property. -- J.S.

This bolt would attach to a resonating bell if it was a Steinway. Unless it's for a reason that I'm not seeing. Why would they cast that into the plate if it wasn't doing anything? Wierd.

They bought the plate, and maybe a case to fit, and had their name slapped on it. It looks like a couple of strings did not fit on the edges of the duplex scale aliquot. Semipro Tech
