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.

How do I found out information (age, value) about my Wulitzer piano with serial # 472762?
Without providing the actual serial number or even a description of the unit, it is nearly impossible to tell what year a Willis & Co was made - or any piano, for that matter. If this is a console piano, look on the back, on the outside of the soundboard, for a serial number. You may also find a sticker with model & serial inside the lid or case itself. On an grand piano, the serial would often be stamped on the plate or even under the strings on the soundboard inside the unit.

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.
