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