Yesterday I tuned an old Story & Clark Upright. The former tech. placed a piece of masking tape next to the name on the plate that read "Made in 1907." I was caught by surprise as I interpreted the serial number in the Pierce Atlas as 1908. Here is what Pierce reads: Story & Clark 21,400 - 1907 24,100 - 1908 I have always interpreted this as " by the end of 1907, Story & Clark (and all other manufacturers) produced 21,400 pianos." Am I wrong? Could it be interpreted as "As of Janurary 1st, 1907, 21,400 pianos have been produced. And as of Jan. 1st, 1908, 24,100 pianos have been produced, and so on..." Thanks in advance!
