>        My first estimate of the age of 1848  was tied to the Pierce Atlas
>    But I  now find in " Clinkscale " (pg.79)  that  Chick. Gr.  #6020 was
>    dated as 1844. Between  these two numbers 5253 and
>    6020 there were 767 piano made.
>       Then we find in "Sumner" (pg.121)   Chickering began overstringing
>    in both Grand and uprights in 1845.
>
>       Now in  " Hollis" pg.92 we find  that Chickering started using the
>     full iron plates in Grands in 1843.
>
>       With this information  ( the best  I have found at this time) It
> looks
>    as if the year 1844 is a fair estimate when  Ol ''  5253" was made.
