John,
Don't know anything about your piano in specific but there is a listing in
The Musician's Piano Atlas by S.K.Taylor and supported wityh similar
information in the Europe Piano Atlas as follows:
                Schmidt-Flohr
                3000 Bern Switzerland
                Tel. 031 257 044

If your piano is related to this company, then a 1910 piano should have a
serial number in the area of 7000.  1905 was 4900, and 1915 was 9700.

      The company was founded around 1830 and the name is now owned and
being produce by Kemble in England.  I found no Schueller/Bosendorfer
reference at all.  And there was no Schueller reference either.  Of course
Bosendorfer is well known.  Serial number for 1910 here should start at
19640 and 1911 starts with 20060.  Don't know if any of this is any help.
What's the instrument itself like?
