The Knabe piano was a very high quality machine, the near equivalent of
a Steinway or Mason and Hamlin piano.  While some Knabe's did use a
fallboard decal, most of the ones from this era that I have seen,
including my own, use the engraved plate on the fallboard so this is
not an unusual feature for this piano.
