Question
I have just bought a house and in the front room there is a upright Ivers and Pond Boston. I'm not sure of the cereal number but the manufactures date is 1908.  What is a piano this old worth?  It does need to be restored though if you could please help me out on this i would be grateful.

Think You for your time, Stephanie
