Since Knabe and Mason & Hamlin are now part of MSR, they might have those records. dave Bdshull@AOL.COM wrote: > In a message dated 99-03-08 08:21:34 EST, you write: > > << My old atlas dates it 1875 > > Jon Page > > > At 02:27 AM 3/8/99 -0500, you wrote: > >List: > > > >I do not know how to date a Knabe or Chickering 9'. >> > > Jon, that's the problem.
