What is the approx value of a Ernest Gabler Cabinet grand upright piano. Serial number 57006 made in 1912?

Answer 1

Sir or Madam,

I read with interest, your question regarding the price of a 1912 Gabler, upright piano? I too, am looking for not only a price, but the year constructed of a Gabler upright (very good condition) piano I am interested in purchasing. The piano has a light "walnut" stain, quite a bit of carving on the front (looks like a large wreath w/ "ribbons" on top and bottom of "wreath") and on either side of front, carved legs, similar design. I think I am narrowing it down to around 1905-1910(?), but still researching. In the meantime, I did come across an old (archived) advertisement (The Indianapolis Star, Sunday, Feb 18. 1912) with the following link: http://www.newspaperarchive.com/LandingPage.aspx?type=glp&search=gabler%20piano%2c%201912&img=\\na0006\573698\6453537.html

I would recommend copy and paste this address and see if this will help. There IS a charge to do more research about this piano advertised by the Gabler Piano Company. From what I can see, this 1912 upright Gabler piano sold originally for $130.00 by Gabler Piano Company. Anyway, I hope this help you somewhat. I am also hoping that you can perhaps point me in a direction that may help me find a current price for this Gabler upright. I did find one Gabler upright, circa 1877 for $11,000, restored. but nothing further forward in year. Thank you.
