Schafer & sons pianos have been manufactured in many different factorys around the world. Almost every piano manufacture in the u.s. (besides steinway) made schafer & sons at one time or another.. But if you send me a serial # i can tell you where and when it was made..
12.000 US$
A Vose and Sons piano circa 1920-30s serial no 81803 could be worth a lot or a little largely depending on the condition it is in.
That is not the serial number, it means that A is tuned to 440 Hz.
The piano was built in 1912 according to the Pierce Piano Atlas 12th edition.

Between 1876-1904
After hours of research & posting the question here I have found the answer. This particular piano was built in 1867.
To determine the age of a Jesse French and Sons piano with the serial number 12852, you would typically need to refer to a serial number database or resources specific to the manufacturer. Jesse French and Sons was active primarily in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, so it's likely that this piano dates from around that time. However, for an exact age, consulting a piano appraiser or a detailed history of the brand would be necessary.

it's about 1982, i think. I have one with serial no 900315. when i bought it the agent said that it's around that period.
Yes they are amazing, the best piano I have ever had. I totally suggest them to anyone and the Colten store is the best; they have a beautiful layout and super nice people, good service and they were the best piano for a long time until China came out with a cheap one which sucks. So yes they are a great brand.
