Trying to Date F Weber German Piano

[Gregor _]

My sources don´t say anything about serial numbers of Weber Pianos. But if there is the company adress stamped in anywhere I could say more. Weber moved several times and I have a list which says which adress was valid in wich years.

I got an email from someone trying to date their German 
Weber piano. My Pierce is MIA. Can someone look this up and let me know? I'll 
pass it on to her.

I have just got my 
great-grandmother’s F. Weber piano out of storage, and I’m interested in 
learning as much as I can about it.  
It’s walnut, and piano tuner dates on it from 
Sydney in 
1915 and 1920, but I suspect (from hunting on the internet) that the piano is 
older – possibly from around 1900 to 1905.  
The metal part on the string frame of my piano is quite ornate, but does 
not have F. Weber Berlin 
stamped on it, which I gather many others do.  However the nameplate near the keys says 
“F. Weber”, and has the F. Weber distinctive three medals-faces on either side 
of the name-board.  I could send 
photos of this (and photos of ones I’ve grabbed from other pianos from the net) 
but am reluctant to send an unsolicited email with photo attachments as you may 
not want to open them, fearing they may contain viruses etc, so I’ve refrained 
in the first instance. I can send photos if you’re 
interested.
 
Anyway, I was just 
wondering whether you ever managed to date your F Weber piano, and if so if you 
found a place on the piano where a date may have been written?  The 
serial number on mine is 18941.
