My sources don´t say anything about serial numbers of Weber Pianos. But if there is the company adress stamped in anywhere I could say more. Weber moved several times and I have a list which says which adress was valid in wich years.<br><br>Gregor<br><br><blockquote><hr>From: mfarrel2@tampabay.rr.com<br>To: pianotech@ptg.org<br>Subject: Fw: Trying to Date F Weber German Piano<br>Date: Tue, 6 May 2008 05:16:36 -0400<br><br>

great-grandmother’s F. Weber piano out of storage, and I’m interested in
learning as much as I can about it.<span style="">
</span>It’s walnut, and piano tuner dates on it from

1915 and 1920, but I suspect (from hunting on the internet) that the piano is
older – possibly from around 1900 to 1905.<span style="">
</span>The metal part on the string frame of my piano is quite ornate, but does
not have F. Weber </span></font><font size="2"><span style="font-size: 10pt;" lang="EN-AU">Berlin</span></font><font size="2"><span style="font-size: 10pt;" lang="EN-AU">
stamped on it, which I gather many others do.<span style=""> </span>However the nameplate near the keys says
“F. Weber”, and has the F. Weber distinctive three medals-faces on either side
of the name-board.<span style=""> </span>I could send
photos of this (and photos of ones I’ve grabbed from other pianos from the net)
but am reluctant to send an unsolicited email with photo attachments as you may
not want to open them, fearing they may contain viruses etc, so I’ve refrained
in the first instance. I can send photos if you’re
interested.</span></font></p>

wondering whether you ever managed to date your F Weber piano, and if so if you
