Chickering Upright Dating

[Farrell]

Good suggestion Tom. I did check all over the soundboard (not the back though) and on all the keys - no date/serial number. However, I have not inspected the action for those numbers - I have the action in my shop and I'll take a close look as soon as I can. Thanks for the input.

    I'm doing a few repairs to a very old Chickering upright. <BIG SNIP>
    Anyone have an opinion on the age of this piano?

    Thanks.

    Terry,
        Lots of these up here in Mass. If I remember there may be a # on the soundboard behind the action on the treble side.Also look for  penciled dates on the #1 key and or the back of the main action rail .
        I think your guess is very close  on based on style.
