Welmar Baby Grand

Post by MichaelC45 »

Hi,

I have a Welmar baby grand piano, manufactured by Whelpdale, Maxwell & Codd Ltd, 47 Conduit St, London. It has a serial number: 30635. I'm trying to work out its age, but according to your website, none were built with a 30 prefix. Can anyone shed light on this, please? Thanks.

This is not my website, but the number suggests that it was made in 1942. If you want to search inside the piano for clues, have a look at

Thank you, Bill. 1942 was roughly what I thought, looking at numbers before and after World War II.

I have attempted to send a pm - I use the word attempted because I do not know that I was successful

Any response would be appreciated.

Thanks
