They are not listed in The Musicians Piano Atlas. Probably 1930s. The action is a D-Type Spring and Loop action as discussed previously on this list. Lots of them, made by Herrburger-Brooks, were fitten to budget-end small grand pianos made in England at one time. It's interesting that you find that the action in this piano has good repetition. I've never found that they feel nice, and as you will have observed, they lack a repetition lever. Best regards, David Boyce.
