Not having access to a Pierce Atlas at the moment, can someone tell me the year of manufacture for a Kingsburg serial number 12645? Made by Cable in Chicago. It's a beautiful full upright in great condition, except for the  tubby bass. Ornate carvings and amazing finish. It has original steel wound bass strings and I'm guessing WW1 vintage. FWIW, this piano hasn't been tuned for a year and a half, and moved to the desert from the northwest. I found it at pitch and only needing a fine tune. It's lived with a Damppchaser system for years. Proof is in the pudding.

Simply pointing out the tubbiness caused owner to suggest we put new bass strings on. Wish I could find customers like this every day.

Thanks in advance.
