Hello Cliff,<BR>
<BR>
I think your customer is wrong about&nb=
sp; the <BR>
date of this Piano. The name of Collard &<BR>
Collard was used after 1832. Pior to this date<BR>
the name used was "Clementi, Collard &Collard"<BR>
<BR>
From what you describe the number (9941=
5) <BR>
is correct. This puts the date built about 1874. <BR>
This fits with known facts of this Co.<BR>
<BR>
If the case is in good condition the actual <BR>
cash value is approximately $3000 to $5000.<BR>
The replacement value will be more. If it is highly <BR>
carved it may sell for more. There is not much <BR>
market for this Piano.<BR>
<BR>
If you repair this Piano, call me. I may be<B=
R>
able to save you a lot of work. <BR>
Hope this helps and I wish you well.<BR>
<BR>
Regards, <BR>
Jack Wyatt<BR>
