Tom,

If, eventually, no one on the list can identify the beastie, there may 
still be hope.  If the strings are original, the stringmaker of your choice 
may have the answer.

I recall that, back in the '70s, a set of strings was sent to Schaff from 
WITCC, identified only as "little white grand".  It came back called 
"Wurlitzer".

YMMV.
