Everett Upright

[Farrell]

Perhaps this does not mean much, but I have a 1900 5' 4" Everett grand that I will remanufacture sometime in the near future. It has a nice sawn ash inner rim, a W,N &G action, etc., etc. Clearly a well built piano. I would not be surprised to find that your upright had a well-above average quality start in life also.

FWIW, I have made a golden rule for myself. I might pay a few hundred dollars for a Steinway, M&A, Knabe, or other super premium upright, but for anything else, I'll pay the mover and that's it - if for some reason I am interested.
