The piano is an ebony D 1967 .
    In my opinion although playable this piano is rebuilding stock.

    Plate has that bronzy-crinkle finish I've seen on  S and S piano's from 
the mid             sixties.


Tom, 
 
I'll let others deal with the value, but just a couple of peripheral issues - 
I'd check the serial number again. I think the piano might be earlier. I 
don't think I've seen the crinkly plate finish later than the fifties, although 
others might know better. Also, if it's 1967, it should be Teflon. 
 
If it's not Teflon, I've seen verdigris in pianos from the fifties; so with 
the moisture level indicated by the mold, I'd remove and double-check some 
flanges.
