The value of a piano is not based upon its serial number (or age) - this piano being built between 1905 and 1910. More important is the condition of the piano. Does it need new hammers? How is the cabinet? How is the voicing? What are the condition of the strings? You might want to try the following website to get a better idea... http://www.57piano.com/questions.htm. Good luck.

∙ 11y ago105D isnt the serial number its the model of Chickering piano like a Steinway model D.
To know the value, you need to see the state of the piano.
A piano looses value since its deteroirating when played, unlike a violin who stays ok, you just have to replace the strings.
So look for a number like 33125 or 102135 thats the serial number and that will tell you which year it has been made.

∙ 10y agoChickering pianos, particularly antique ones, can potentially be rather valuable. Age is an important factor in helping determine the desirability and potential value of any instrument. A Chickering and Sons piano numbered in the 140000's would have been made sometime between about 1925-1927 - at the height of the Jazz Age. At nearly 90 years old, condition is going to be the next major deciding factor next to actual model/type. For a 20's era Chickering UPRIGHT piano in great cosmetic shape (no mold, warping, major visible damage) and excellent playing condition, you could expect a few hundred dollars or more on a good day (and if you find a buyer willing to pick it up or pay the freight). For a Chickering grand piano, it really depends on the year, model and condition as they could be worth as little as $800 and as much as $25,000 or more. Research the model name and consider talking to someone who specializes in antique piano sales for a more solid estimate.

What year was a chickering square grand piano built serial?
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)

Where is the serial number on a Kohler Campbell upright piano?
June 4, 2008 San Diego, CA On my 1933 Wurlitzer 4' 8" baby grand piano, the serial number is visible on the right side of the wooden sounding board, while facing the keyboard. It's carved (impressed?) about 8-10" left of the side of the piano case & about 2" above the wide varnished foundation of the music holder. Other Wurlitzers may have the numbers in other places but your tuner should be able to find it and thereby determine its year of manufacture. "Pierce's Piano Atlas" has a chart determining Wurlitzer age from serial #. I found a copy in the public library reference collection. Hope this is helpful- rgsfield

Using the serial number how can you tell the age of your dixie narco vending machine?
The age of Dixie-Narco products is determined by the date code incorporated in the serial number. The vender serial number takes the form xxxx-yyyyzz. The first 4 digits (xxxx) identify the specific vender. The next 4 digits (yyyy) identify the manufacturing run that the vender was built in. The last two alpha characters (zz) identify the quarter and the year the vender was built. The first alpha character identifies the quarter: A = 1st quarter B = 2nd quarter C = 3rd quarter D = 4th quarter The second alpha character indentifies the year: S = 1994 T = 1995 U = 1996 V = 1997 W = 1998 X = 1999 Y = 2000 Z = 2001
