Does anyone know anything about the Euclid Piano Company out of Cleveland Ohio? I've obtained an upright piano with the serial number 3681, the cabnets' number is 1270. I have searched for two days now trying to find information about my piano with no results. The company no longer exsits, or there is no information on the internet about them. It is a beautiful piece of work and I want to restore it, but I also would like to know something about its history. The person I recieved it from believes it was made around 1939.
thanks for any input.

They are listed in Pierce but no serial numbers given. Have you asked on one of the US piano sites

Barrie,

Sorry, Michel padded out his piano atlas with lots of entries that contain less information than is visible on the piano, and one wonders if he ever looked inside them!

I want to thank Barrie Heaton and Bill Kibby for the information they gave me. I will check out the PianoGen website for more information. Here in the states the only place I could find offering information was The Vintage Piano Shop located in Ashville North Carolina. (that is only about a 2 hour drive from where I live) Their mastercraftsman Michael e-mailed me. He said that they have only restored 2 other Eculids, and after going through some of his vintage catalogs found the Eculid Company existised from about 1897 - 1929. The pianos were of high quality and expensive for that time period. He believes there are only a few of these wounderful pianos left today.
I will persue this quest for more information and if you would like, keep you posted.
By the way... I found this Piano not 1/2 a mile from my home... sitting at the end of a driveway with a sign that said. "If you can move it, you can have it"
thanks again
