A Knabe piano with serial 165268 would have been built sometime between 1960 and 1961. First produced in 1837, Wm. Knabe pianos were, in their time, widely popular and well-reputed instruments, having been used by the likes of Francis Scott Key to the New York Metropolitan Opera.
The Knabe Piano Company began in Baltimore, MD in 1837. Knabe pianos with a 4 digit serial number are from about 1863 or earlier. 5-digit Knabe pianos, then are from about 1864 - 1927, when the company finally surpassed 100000. In your case, a Knabe piano with serial 37325 would have been built somewhere between 1890, when they started at serial 33000 and 1895, when they had reached 43000.
Nordheimer Piano & Music Co. was one of the earliest (and most successful) commercial piano makers in Canada. Founded in 1842 by two brothers named Nordheimer, the company had manufactured some 11,000 pianos by 1910. The company reached number 2500 in 1890. Your even lower serial number indicates an even earlier built piano, likely sometime closer to 1860 - 1880. For an exact date, you might try reaching out to an appraiser or trying a free lookup service (link below).
