It is a beautiful looking piano in the photos. Question is, does it have restorable value? Obviously I'll have to check the condition of the action. This old I'm curious what kind of action it will have. I'll have to take my camera. Seems a Wolfframm made these too after 1935 so it may not be quite so old. Only thing is the serial number doesn't harmonize with the later date...
