[pianotech] Chickering models during Aeolian years

[JWyatt1492 at aol.com]

Hello Jim.
 
    I think the 121 @ the 123 were Chickering scales
before the Co. was sold to American in 1908.
   
   The 121 was the first to be called the "Quarter  Grand"
The last was the 135.
 
   After American  was sold to  Aeolian in  1932 the 123  
A B C. was produced.   Along this same  time they produced 
the 145 scale a 5ft 8in.  This was one of the 5 best 5,8s 
ever. My opinion.  For the home the 123 is the best Piano 
ever.  Again my opinion 
 
   Regards to All.

Were the  121 and 123 scale Chickerings (5 ft-ish grands) made in the 
Aeolian years  maybe up to the 50's?

If so, at that time, were the actions non-flared  standard parts actions?
