John, I've looked up Auto-Art Piano Co. in my Pierce Piano Atlas,
8th edition, and all it tells me is that it was made at 421 8th St.,
New York, made Standard (I'm guessing player actions here), and
that's all there is.  I don't know if a later edition corrects the
entry or not to complete it, but I'm guessing it's one of those piano
manufacturing companies that didn't last long enough to get the dates
and serial numbers published.
