where else to look?

It's usually embossed on everything: cheek blocks, key frame, key slip, lock
plate side of the lyre, plus the lock plate side of the legs, assuming
they're the original ones.  If you can't find it on the lyre I'd remove a
leg (those jack-in-the-boxes do come in handy) and look there.

Hi all. 

I am in search of a serial# for a S&S. It's not in any of the usual places 
like plate, key frame, key slip. There is an inkstamp on 2 bass keys..the 
numbers match. Could this be the serial#? If true, this makes the piano a 
1920's vintage instead of a 1950's, which is all the information the client 
has of its origin. There are case part markings everywhere, and they are 
engraved.. 

Any help is appreciated.
