1/5/04 we acquired a George B. Norris Console :) style piano. We went on Pianoworld.com. for $3 I found out that the name of our piano is that of the president of Holland Piano Mfg. Co. of Menomonie WI. They had offices in Minneapolis and ours we found out by serial number that it was built in 1924. This is 20 years older than we and our tuner guessed. That info was helpful and now I am on a Holland info quest too... Will share more as we continue our new journey.

Bluebookofpianos.com had info for free. Holland Piano Mfg.Co. was located in Minneapolis and Menomonie. The factory is under the management of Mr. James E. Sleeper, a well known expert. This is direct info from the bluebook website.
Pianoworld.com has a good chart of current values if you know all the correct info about your piano for free.

The company was established in 1913 they also made Norland and Geo B Norris pianos, they stopped making pianos C1930 Quite a few piano manufactures folded in the 1930s in the US

All I can tell you is the number suggests that it was made in 1919.
