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.
After hours of research & posting the question here I have found the answer. This particular piano was built in 1867.
I have one. It was manufactured in 1923, the 100th year anniversary of the Chickering company.

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)
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.
