[pianotech] Question of a Plate

[Ken & Pat Gerler]

Why I am asking.
An associate here in St. Louis serviced the piano and took the picture, sent it to me to see if I knew the make.  Who ever refinished and rebuilt the piano put a "Baldwin" decal on the fallboard.  And a piece of masking tape on the pedal lyre says "Hamilton"!!!  The piano is a good rebuild, but like this tech, I have never seen a plate like this in a Baldwin product.

    Don't mean to step on your toes Tom - I CAN see where a Julius Bauer might come to mind - but definitely not Julius Bauer. No ribs on top of soundboard panel. Plate is not full perimeter in the picture. Below are a couple shots of a Julius Bauer. What an absolutely massive, massive plate!

      This looks very similar to a Julius Bauer styled plate.

        Hello all,
        Has anyone seen a plate like I have attached and can say what piano it came out of?

        Thanks in advance,
