It may be a Kimball.  I've seen them with the same style of serial number, only stamped on the plate instead of the pinblock.
 
Cheers,

I serviced an old upright yesterday that was stripped/refinished (outside surfaces only) that no longer has a manufacturer name located anywhere on it (that I could locate, anyhow.)  It's definitely an early 20th century model. 

I'm sure I have seen this "style" of serial number before, but I don't typically photograph the serNo, so I have nothing to compare it to.  I do have a guess as to mfr, but if anyone can help out, it'd be appreciated. 

Attached are photos of the serial number and the F1 hammer butt/flange (I'll be replacing flanges and doing other necessary work soon). Butt/flange photo provided in case the plate screwed into the butt is any help. 

Thanks much,
