  • 1.  1300 Piano Patents available

    Posted 28 days ago

    Looking for some piano related items on eBay, I came across a listing from Germany. The seller is offering a collection of piano related patents of over 1300 American piano patents, in 4000 PDF pages, with a searchable directory. The patents date from 1838 to 1899. 

    For about US$ 20 it seem pretty reasonable for the right person, who is surely pout there somewhere. Maybe the Foundation can purchase this collection and open it up to members for research?

    That seller seems to have collected lots of patents on different topics. Coffeemakers, bicycles, sewing machines, typewriters ...
