Waters Aurola company history - "In the 20th Century, Horace Waters produced pianos under the names of Horace Waters & Co., Waters, and Chester. He also produced a line of player pianos under the name "Waters Autola". Horace Waters went out of business in about 1949."

Open up the piano and there should be a metal plate in the piano that will have a serial number imprinted into it.  It may also have the date.


Thank you I will look for it :)

I wouldn`t bet on that seat being real leather !!  They made faux leather out of a pressed fiber !! May have had sheet caning and when it wore out they replaced it with this one !!  You can still buy those seats !!


That's good to know, i still think is kinda cool. Going to refinish it, any ideas of an easy was to get all that ugly paint off lol

I found this in the loft of the barn thought it was kind of interesting it has a leather seat, something I have not seen before. Someone has painted it at some point, thinking about taking the paint off and refinishing, any ideas or comments.

Found this table in the barn when we cleaned out dads property. Any ideas how old it is, I did clean it up and it turned out better than I expected it would. My husband tells me it was top down in the barn for at least 25 years that he knows of.

They got an offer for 600.00 today, and maybe I will just match it and keep it. I have kinda become attached to it in just a few days :) Thank you to every one who helped me out with this and put up with me being new here!

thank you for your help :) They gave me a price of 5-6 hundred so I will still be doing some research, it is sad how some people act when someone has passed.

At least I finally got them to upload, I will work on issues with the sizes.......... Learning one thing at a time.

I have looked and it does not say franklin anywhere, some one else had said it was a franklin stove. I did find the marking on the inside that says Washington stove works, it has an olympic plate on the top of the stove.
Like I said I have no idea about old stoves.

My husbands father passed away and this was in the kitchen of the  house they have owned since 1952. Just curious if any one knows anything about it.

It is complete and in good condition, I would like to keep it for my house, but his sisters want it sold, just wondering what I should offer them for it?

We have dug out many more things from the barn and other out buildings on the property, but I figured I would start finding out about the big pieces first.
