On a 1901 Knabe concert grand, the serial number was stencilled in black 
paint onto the
soundboard underneath the strings, in the first capo section. Maybe a couple
of inches past the dampers.

I'd also check the bottom of the keyslip and keyblocks. Sometimes someone 
marks
it on there, or it could be stamped in the factory.
