I bought my Chickering Ampico B "used" in 1965, so that was 50 years
ago and since the pump date was 6/36, the piano was a little less
than 30 years old at the time.

The drive belt was red rubber with a cloth backing.  A sticker on it
read "NRA - We Do Our Part" which was about the National Recovery Act
during the depression.  No, I didn't take a cell phone photo of the
label when I replaced the belt.  It was leaving a pile of red dust
under it -- it had done its duty!
