Antique Pianos/year of piano

Question
I am wondering if you could tell me what year my piano is.  It is a Thurmer piano. There are two numbers under the lid:  P2743 and 54170.  
Which one is the serial number?  Can you also tell me if this was made in Germany or Austrailia.

What is the approximate value?

Thanks for your help.

Answer
Hi David,

Thank you for contacting us. Thurmer is made in Germany. Your piano was manufactured in 1920. In our current economic and musical climate, we estimate your piano to be valued at around $400. If you have any further questions, please feel free to ask.

Sincerely,
Robert Parker
