To find out how old your Trade Valley Gem Mark piano is, you can use the serial number to narrow the information down. For example, a piano with a serial number of 5230 was more than likely made in the early 1900s.
I can tell you it is located within the piano itself, but to find it you must first look for it.
1900-1905
It won't say on the piano. you will have to find the serial number, which will be in several different places, and then look up that number. There are many websites including "the blue book of pianos" dot com that will have a locater to help you find the number and they will have a list of different manufactures serial numbers and the year that number was made.

If you lift the lid of your Wurlitzer console piano, you may find the serial number printed on a sticker with the model number to either side of the harp itself. It's also common for the serial number to be printed on the back, outside of the soundboard. If you turn the piano around, you might find it there. Lastly, removing the vertical cover and exposing the harp, you may be able to spot a sticker with the model/serial on it by sitting on the bench and looking into the unit at about your eye-level.
stand in front of the keys with the lid lifted. Slide the 1 foot by 5 feet panel lying on the top of the piano, under the lid. Can't miss the serial number.
It's possible that pianos of the era didn't have serial numbers.
Willis & Co. was founded in Montreal in 1884. They made very good pianos at first, "cut corner" pianos near the end, and went out of business in 1978. I do know how you'd trace the serial number, but four digits implies an early one, if it's a serial number at all. It's likely that four digit number is not the serial number, but something else.
The serial number on a Baldwin Acrosonic Spinet piano is typically located on the metal plate inside the piano, often near the tuning pins. You may need to open the piano lid and look inside the body, usually on the right side. Alternatively, it can sometimes be found on the back of the piano or on the keybed. If you're having trouble locating it, consult the piano's manual or contact a professional piano technician for assistance.
