Recently bought on eBay. This is all the info I can ascertain.
Keyboard cover reads:
Phillips & Crew Co.
Established 1865
Atlanta, Ga.
Could not find any date markings on the piano, only a serial number: 26260.
Piano is an upright, stands about 56 inches tall, is about 28 inches from back to front of keyboard, and about 61 inches wide. I'm not quite sure, but it may be made of mahogany. The wood is a nice dark-brown with hints of purple or red.
The only other writing says that the piano is warranted by the manufacturer for 6 years. (Fairly sure that warranty has expired )
I'll try to post some photos later, but for now, any information would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Phil _________________ ...only the fireborn understand blue...

This being a UK site, I have very little experience of american pianos, but apparently, theirs were made by Krell, so serial number dates are available, suggesting 1948. Very little else is published, and it is unlikely that original archives survive. Press www below, then press Archives. _________________ I do not buy, sell or value pianos, but I sometimes rescue pre-1890 pianos in the UK.
