Stamped Dates Found in Aeolian Instruments
By Bruce Grimes

I've found dates on several uprights at the lower treble back of the
soundboard, on the outside, that often predate by about two years the
serial number on the plate.  I have presumed this was the year the back
and board were made.  I have heard of pianos being given serial numbers
at about the time of completion, and presumed this to be part of that
process
