Question

Ivers and Pond Serial
Hi I have an Ivers and Pond Upright Piano I think the serial number is 51089 (located inside left side wall). It is in average/fair condition and has not been tuned or played in approx 20 years. It has been indoors in a temp controlled environment the entire time. Formerly used in church. I am wondering what the value of it is and what the opportunity to sell it would be in it's current condition. I could send photos if that would further assist in evaluating. Thanks in advance for your time!


Answer
Hi,

Thank you for using allexperts. Your Ivers & Pond Upright piano, serial #51089 was built in 1911 and the approximate worth is $300 to $500.
