Not unusual Daniel - have encountered plenty like that. Standard late19th century cheapo English cottage industry piano. Looks around 1880. Bichords up to the top instead of trichords. Very ordinary, and of no value whatever. Challen were a long established English piano maker (with at times a penchant for odd case designs) but I think this is probably a nonsense transfer name completely unrelated to the Challen company. Best, David. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL: <http://ptg.org/pipermail/pianotech_ptg.org/attachments/20090424/6790c417/attachment.html>
