Serviced a better than should be expected P. A. Stark piano the other day. Now living in the home of it's 3rd owner, but still in the same family as it was purchased new by her great aunt. Somewhere along the line it was refinished. Not a bad job, actually, but the serial number is gone. I found the manufacturing number all over the place, but no serial number remains. Here is a pic of the piano. I'm hoping someone here can provide an estimate of it's manufacture date based on style. I'm guessing early 1900's but that's only because I'm guessing the great aunt wasn't older than that.
