Customer has a Steinway O, sn 149770, yr 1911, all this according to Pierce based on what I found on the plate. However, this is the fallboard decal...

Looking up Steinway I find no mention of Lyon & Healy. Looking up Lyon & Healy I find no mention of Steinway. Both according to Pierce. I did find, elsewhere, that Steinway bought Lyon & Healy in the 1970's, which is way after this piano was manufactured. I also found that Everett was involved at some point and that Lyon & Healy is now in the harp business. Customer purchased the piano in the '70s, in Montreal, and had it "rebuilt" in the '90s by somebody in Northern Vermont. She did not like the results. Brought it to California in 2016.

So, just out of curiosity, anyone here know what this piano actually is? 

Geoff,

I'm pretty sure that Lyon & Healy (Harps and pianos) was the sole SS dealership in Chicago for many years, perhaps all the way back to early days of SS. Then L&H was bought by SS in the 70s under CBS. They let L&H concentrate on harps and forget about pianos. I don't know if there is still any affiliation anymore. 

So that decal I bet is an "addition" to the SS decal, much the same as the Sherman Clay dealerships out on the west coast. 

That's my guess.
