Question
Hi, I recently was given a C.A.Smith piano. I was wondering how old it is and what the value of it is. On both sides the number 2455 is engraved on it. The only other number that I see on it is 8241 on the inside near the strings. Thank You

Hi Tim, your piano was built probably in the 1890s or early 1900s. I was unable to get an exact date of when it was built. Its probably worth around $500 - $1,000. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me.
Sincerely,
