We inherited a John Hallerton and Son upright piano years ago. It has the number 22290 on the top left of the iron frame and also on the inside of one of the mahogany wood panels. The centre front panel has a decorative inlay panel.
Despite searching we have found no clues as to the manufacturer and age of this piano.
Can anyone help on this matter?

Some of these were sold by Crane & Sons, so it may be a name they used, but we have found no trace of a real maker by that name so far.

Hello.. Oddly this is the only reference to this brand piano I have also received. What would be the best way to search for other information use this other brand name? The numbers I have found on the inside pannel are 19B, RDNo 291609.

Thank you...

Those two do not appear in our lists of dated frame markings, have you looked at the Datemarks page at www.PianoGen.org ?
