List,
        The old made in Boston M.H. grands had    "Mason and Hamlin Boston"
cast in the plate near the last section of tuning pins  and the Rochester
only had "Mason and Hamlin" it's possible there were some plates shipped
from Boston to Rochester when the change was made as I doubt any plates
would have been thrown out, but This is an easy way to determine origin.
