Hmmm, a contemporary collectible? Barry/other, help me on this one. I think
this vintage indicates that Alfie was still in a hands-on mode, and perhaps
prior to labo(u)r union problems across the pond...?

Liked the pianos -- didn't tune enough of them to become comfortable
though. Due to the plate design (I suppose), I always over-compensated
across the bass/tenor break when pitch-raising, and by the time I saw
another one, I'd already forgotten about the phenomenon. If I had space and
budget, I'd like to park a Knight, a Fandrich, and a Seiler in the same
room. All verticals, and not for comparisons, just another case of men and
their toys. [Wonder if this will sneak by?]

Sorry no help on a price, Dan, but maybe a suggestion for your tagline.
What about "The beautiful La Crosse (between the Mississippi River and the
bluffs)". 
I suppose the Mississippi is better "eye candy" further upstream, but your
town is certainly beautiful. As a road musician, I worked La Crosse just
after Appleton, and recall going up in the hills and overlooking... 3, 4
states? Awesome!

PS: List, excuse any syntax or incomplete thought errors. I'm really tired
tonight from spacing and traveling at the same time on a Steinway stack
which was the tip of the iceberg and I think Mr. Page and I are of the same
mind set at the moment. I shouldn't be here now, but needed a list-fix!
