    That reminds me of an old episode of "Candid Camera" where there was a bookstore or library that had a sign on a high shelf that said "Dirty Books". When people would pull out a book, a blast of dust would fall down on them. :p

    Can anyone help make out what this stamp says.

    This is the best pic I could get by wedging my phone behing the fall board on my piano. It's a Baby Grand that was refurbished in 2004.

    I'm trying to find an appraiser to come take a look and tell us what we should ask for it.

    Anyways I can't make out this stamp. Not sure if someone can tweak the contrast or something and make out what is says.
    Thanks

    It appears though you may have the WNG stamp it may not be a WNG piano. WNG produces the action mechs

    Nice .. thanks guys. Ran the serial number through several sites. The consensus is between 1904 and 1906 build date. McPhail Quarter Grand. I wish this thing could talk. Would love to know what it has been through, seen and heard for the last 116 years. The homes it has been part of. The people that have played it. Our family is just another page in its book.

    @txcoastal1 , that website actually has the original catalog from 1910 or so with my model in it. That's how I found out it was called a Quarter Grand. They also have 3 McPhail pianos for sale. All 3 are prices way way higher than I paid for mine.
