<font face="Arial">OK, so, I've had a nice reply trom David Winston
of Period Piano. It seems that this Collard & Collard dates
from about 1870, not 1826. Apparently they had different series of
numbers for different models. 1870 certainly makes more sense.
They are not that rare a model, David says.<br>
<br>
So my excitement has died down a little! But it's still nice.<br>
<br>
Best regards,<br>
