Help with LaFfarg serial number/worth

[Stephen Grattan]

Hi,  The LAFFARGUE  PIANO COMPANY was established in 1896 in New York.  In 1904  it was incorporated and later became part of the Aeolian American company.  Yours was made in 1925.  I hope this helps!

Greetings,
 
     What is the year of mfg. of a Laffarg  (it reads 'New York' below the Laffarg) grand piano with a serial # of 85439? Also are these pianos anything special? Inside on the action there is a tag that reads Staib-Abendsghein - N.Y. Looks to me as though some German action mfg'r set up shop in New York and made the actions. I dont know what would be French about the piano then. Wierd.
 
Thanks
