You can look in all the usual unusual places (plate, keyframe, keybed, legs frame, etc.) but I am sad to have to inform you that sometimes there just isn't one to be found, especially if it's one of the "Quarter Grands". Many times the Quarter Grands have the serial number on one of the plate struts. Joseph Garrett, R.P.T. Captain, Tool Police Squares R I
