Question
I have an antique W.W. Kimball Co piano patented Sept 24, 1895 with a serial number of 131108.  If it is in excellent condition and plays beautifully, could you tell me the estimated value and what year it was made?

Answer
Dear Trudy,
   Thank you for using allexperts. Your piano was built in 1904.  If its an upright piano its worth around $500 and if a grand around $1,000.  If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me.


Sincerely,
