      Hello Rick,
   
     Old Chickering numbers are sometimes found
  on a small paper "sticker" inside the action cavity 
  on the left side. These are usually from 1840s to 
  the  about 1855. 
   
     The later models like   # 77, 98, 105, 109,116,
  121, 123,   123-A, B and C and 145 will usually
   have the number stamped on the iron frame. 
     
     These model numbers will be cast in the frame  
  rather large size except 123s and the 145.
   
    The Quarter Grand,  the first being the # 121 was 
  not made until 1901.Its, numbers will be stamped on
   the frame. And can be found on various wood parts.
   
   
  Hope this helps,
   
  Jack Wyatt
