Antique Questions Forum / Schoenut Toy Piano

« on: August 06, 2007, 07:24:10 pm »

I'm trying to locate information about an antique Schoenhut toy piano that my grandmother recently gave my mom for her birthday. We knew the original owner and believe it's at least 100 years old. The front panel has 10 dancing girls in the center with two cherubs playing flutes on each side, all are surrounded by gold leaves/wreaths. It has 10 wooden white keys (no black keys, not even painted on ones). It has the words "patented September 19, 1900" on the bottom left hand side. I've looked in several antique catalogs without much luck. I'd like to know the year it was made and the style. Thanks.
