Grange Model

Post by andyaeola »

My parents have a medium sized upright. Name on the fallboard is 'Grange Model'. The only other information is the sticker on the right which says Geo Williams, I believe they were the dealer in Darlington/Bishop Auckland that sold it? It was bought secondhand in 1971 for us children to learn on. Serial number 17323.

What make/manufacturer is it? I'm guessing a British stencil of some kind?

With thanks

Andy

Model names are no help as a rule, this particular Williams seems to have been in business after the 1914 war, until at least the fifties, but by 1936 it was G.A. Williams & Son Ltd. See
