Want this question answered?
First, I need a serial number and age for piano. It would be hard to say.
A Knabe piano with serial 165268 would have been built sometime between 1960 and 1961. First produced in 1837, Wm. Knabe pianos were, in their time, widely popular and well-reputed instruments, having been used by the likes of Francis Scott Key to the New York Metropolitan Opera.
Based on the serial number, the piano was built in the early 1890s. The "gold medal" means very little. Medals were given to the major piano makers during world fairs, etc. but the practice was really more of a marketing gimick than anything else. That being said, Knabe was one of the four best American piano makers at that time (including Steinway, Mason & Hamlin, and Chickering).
