The customer says he thinks it is about 75 years old. There are no identifying marks cast into the plate. Lettered on the plate is "Style RR" and the number 50438. It is an Ampico reproducing player and the Aeolian patent plate is nailed to the stretcher. The player is # 130744. There 12 single and 16 bi- chords in the bass section. The top tennor note is # 58. It has a W. N. & G. hand action. Whoever antiqued the case did a good job of covering any identifying marks.

Or lightly sand where the decal is usually centered and see if an impression takes place. Dave Peake, RPT Portland, OR
