Thanks to all who responded. I believe Jack came closest. I would expect anyone tuning in the Washington State area servicing pianos sold by Tallman might have seen a few and had the specific name that Tallman requested to be put on the pianos. As you can see from the pictures (sent previously), the plate does not have any markings on it.

Subject: Re: [pianotech] Unknown Aeolian-American Piano
Hello Ken,
More than likely your Piano had ether the name
" Ellsworth " or " Emerson " or maybe "Elburn"
Aeolian owned many names not being produced
anymore, including the above, These names were often
used.
I believe it is the generic scale 575 that Aeolian
would build for whoever with whatever name they wanted.
This Piano was built at Aeolians plant on Pershing Ave.
In Memphis Tenn.
This was after the Heller,s sold the Co.
Regards
Jack Wyatt
