Antique Musical Instruments/Kimball Baby Grand

Question
My grandson inherited a Kimball baby grand piano, #139497, it is an antique white with gold accents.  It has not been tuned for several years. It has ivory keys, but a few have chips on the edges.  I am guessing it to be in fair to average condition, although the finish appears to be in good shape.  Can you provide me with an age and ball-park estimate of its value as he has a buyer who has asked him what he wants for it.

Answer
Hi,
   Thank you for using allexperts.  Your piano was built in 1904 and would be worth around $500 - $1,000. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me.

Sincerely,
