Antique Musical Instruments/Baldwin Piano Serial #B55207

Question
I am considering purchasing a Baldwin Piano, Model #4293, Serial #B55207.  Could you please provide any information you have regarding this piano, such as year of manufacture, company that manufactured it, quality, etc?  If the B means that Baldwin manufactured this piano, is it considered a better quality Kimball?  Also, I realize that a professional needs to inspect the piano to determine actual value, but if possible, could you provide a ballpark figure value for this piano?   

Thank you.

Answer
Dear Dianna,
  Thank you for using all experts.  in regards to your Baldwin piano, are you sure it is a B and not an 8?  Also, if the serial number is correct, than the Baldwin would have been built in 1927.  If you email me photos of the piano to my email address - contact@lindebladpiano.com  I can assess the piano.
  
Sincerely,
