The piano is on it's side between two others so I can't really get a good look at the serial number but suffice it to say that it is most likely 1920s. It also requires rebuilding. It was formally an Ampico player which is no longer present but that has no consequence on it as a regular piano. Technically it is the same as the equivalent model without. Again it has a good sound even as-is but should become a fantastic piano when rebuilt.
