1937.
I have one. It was manufactured in 1923, the 100th year anniversary of the Chickering company.
I own a 1909 model 121 Chickering quarter grand with the serial number printed in black on the left "rib" of the piano's metal plate, just in front of the dampers and near the tuning pins in the tenor section of the scale.
It's possible that pianos of the era didn't have serial numbers.
Hi, I had a cottage piano #15676 which was 1876 -the '76' has nothing to do with the year. A cottage piano is an upright grand.
I own an 1883 Chickering square grand piano and the serial number was branded into the wood behind the keyboard. Where yours is will depend on the age of your piano since styles and sizes changed over time. If it was also restored at one time the restorer may not have replaced the number during restoration. If you go to Actionpianos webpage pianosrebuilt.com you can see a picture of my piano. I have had it for 7 months, I play it all the time and it sounds and looks wonderful. Chickering pianos are worthy of restoration. (in fairness, if i could, i would restore and horde every antique piano)

Whatever someone will pay for it!!
June 4, 2008 San Diego, CA On my 1933 Wurlitzer 4' 8" baby grand piano, the serial number is visible on the right side of the wooden sounding board, while facing the keyboard. It's carved (impressed?) about 8-10" left of the side of the piano case & about 2" above the wide varnished foundation of the music holder. Other Wurlitzers may have the numbers in other places but your tuner should be able to find it and thereby determine its year of manufacture. "Pierce's Piano Atlas" has a chart determining Wurlitzer age from serial #. I found a copy in the public library reference collection. Hope this is helpful- rgsfield
The serial key is "gtapunjab"
