I was looking at an 1878 Steinway upright #44034 on ebay.

0397678&rd=3D1

Clearly in the picture is a full plate extending over the tuning pin =
field. Most pianos made before the 1890s have an open pinblock, or even =
just the 3/4 plate. Am I seeing this right? Was Steinway using a full =
plate on their uprights back in 1878?
