>I have seen two Chickering grands made in this general shape, which >I believe were made in the 1860's. Straight stringers. When I was at the North Bennet Street School some 20 years ago (20 years!!!) we had one of these Chickerings. Bill Garlick always referred to it as a 'cocked hat Chickering'. I believe it had a single escapement 'Brown' action. I only pass this along because I always loved the name 'cocked hat'. Aaron Aaron Bousel Ormstown, QC Canada abousel@rocler.qc.ca
