<DIV><FONT face=Arial>It's definitely post-WWII but I'm not very good =

guessing the vintage of grands. Uprights, to me, are easier because =

Wonder why there isn't a similar uniformity in placement of numbers on =
grands?

If it is
of recent vintage, it could be a C. The C , sold as =
a
"classic" , was 5'7" or 5'8". It would say Classic on the =
bottom
right corner of the fallboard. If it is older, it could be an E, =
H, or
G. I'm not sure of specifics, but know I have seen these models =
in that
general size class. Many Baldwins have a letter cast into the =
plate on
the bass side of the tail. You could look for that.<BR><BR>Roy
