Vintage M&H upright for $10

[Farrell]

So Trent, I don't see your name on the bid list! This is indeed an M&H, and
from the case, it sure does look like its from around 1920.

> Hello everybody,
>
> There is a vintage Mason & Hamlin upright that is being sold by the State
of New York.  The cabinet looks identical to a 1925 I've seen, but from some
of the numbers below, maybe it was made between 1915 and 1919.  It is
located in Batavia New York, which is upstate, in the neighborhood of
Buffalo, I believe.  The current bid is only $10 and there is no minimum
bid.  The auction expires at 5 a.m. Pacific Time tomorrow, Wednesday, i.e.,
in about 14 hours.  Here's the link
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=3701926271.

> It is said to be in 'good condition,' but who knows what that means;
however there is a picture at the link.  It is sold strictly as-is, and
apparently has lived, and would have to be picked up from the ground floor
of, the New York State School for the Blind in Batavia.
>
> A woman named Cindy at the school was kind enough to give me the following
numbers which she had copied off the piano from various places:  on plate -
D24608;   burned into wood on back -- 4518142; "in front of keys inside" (on
the action?) -- 25207.
>
> This item carries no picture in the general listing and a typo has it as a
"Mason & Hemlin," so it may be overlooked by many.
>
> Just passing this info on in case anybody on the list is in that area and
would like to rebuild or experiment with one of these.
