Mary-

Thank you for visiting my blog and leaving your comment. I am sorry to have to inform you that Kimball pianos all carried this graphic for several decades. This makes dating your piano impossible just on the graphic alone. What I would like for you to do is visit Antique Piano Shop and take a look at the pictures in the 3 catalogs they have on this page. If your piano looks much like any of them, I would like to hear back from you. You can click on the "Send Us A Message" link at the top of this page. Thanks- David Miller

I am not sure where to go with this, but my name is Mary Brown and I happen to have the gold awarded upright piano that won the worlds fair in 1893 for w.w. kimball. I have the pics to show plates and serial numbers. This piano was given to me by a friend and I happen to think it is a great piece of history. It is painted in real gold paint pictures of Chris Columbus and crew coming on shore. Please feel free to help me find the right place for this piano and its beautiful history.
Thankyou Mary Brown. My number is 8308221437.
