You seem to really know the Chick 1/4.

Client has one we couldn't find a serial number on.

Check blocks are very narrow, one about 1/2 inch the other about 3/4 inch.
Length just over 5 feet. Hammer flanges are heavy brass with curved plates.
Wippen flanges are brass, also.

Pinblock is in two sections divided by an extension of the plate, bass on
one side, tenor/treble on the other.

Has a nice, natural wood finish -- after they removed the white paint
someone had on it years ago.

Can you give us an approximate age?
