I'm wondering if that problem existed as late as 1947?

David,

Great question. I'd like to know myself. As to the early side -I have some
old Shank-flanges from an 1884 model A with the dreaded green junk. The
repetitions were not affected. On the other side of the equation I don't
remember seeing verdigris past 1930. If anyone will know my money is on Jack
Wyatt. The worst case in my practice is an 1880 ish Knabe upright. Every
center is oozing with the stuff. Rebuild is not an option for several
reasons so every few years I try the treatment du jour and free things
up-sort of - for awhile.

What is the general date range of Steinway pianos where verdigris tends to
occur?
