Zero. Unless, of course, it has some sort of historical value. Sounds to me like it qualifies for "free for anyone willing to move it". I would have said $100, but I think even the few that might be tempted with it would reject it because of the unconventional action.

Maybe if the piano was in New York or Paris or London someone would be interested in it, but if it is located in some small town in the midwest I think it would be real tough to move.....

  Can anyone shed some light on the possible value and background of this piano?
  It is a 7' Gottf and Creamer-Willhelm Mayor grand ca:1860's.
  Inlaid mop in fallboard and piano wire size lenths of brass in the case,also artwork on the plate.
  It would need a complete rebuild, also has action that has the hammers facing the player ,and damper action that is lifted by a piece of wood on top of the strings.
  Thanks,
  RU/UP
