THE WORDS ON THE FRONT PLATE STATES FIRST LINE, " CONRAD MEYER,"SECOND LINE, "FIRST PREMIUM PIANO" THIRD LINE , "PHILAD @ LOOKING SYMBOL." PLEASE NOTE, IF THERE IS A SERIAL NUMBER OR ANY NUMBER, I CAN NOT FIND IT. The size OF THE PIANO IS around the following...not exact... I had no one to help me measure... 72 long by 32 depth by 35 tall . My piano tuner told me 20 years ago, that it was 1829 according to his piano books, not the 1933 from the Washington archives. Below is some information I received in 2000 FROM AN EBAYER. "Aleeta, You have a VERY rare instrument! The man only made instruments from 1825 to 1840. He was one of the people responsible for the full iron casting allowing the modern piano to exist under such tension thus giving us the ability to make BIG pianos now. If it does not sell, relist it with the NAME of the maker and the date it was made (find the serial#, give it to me, and I will track it down for you) Include the info on the iron casting. Look at it and see if it is a full casting, or if it is only on the right side of the instrument. take some pictures that will show the entire piano and the casting area. ( the close-ups of the key hole and the whatever it was you sent me are not pictures that will do any good.) (the one of the name IS a good one to include) Put it up on a 10 day auction to let more people see it. Let me know when it goes on again, and I will tell a few museum directors I know about it and let them bid it out. BEST OF LUCK!!!!!!!!!! I think shipping would be very easy with this piano, it is a light one, no more than about #200 Move it on a thick piece of foam in the back of an enclosed pickup truck...."

Aleeta is a published artist. Many paintings similar to the art that is shown on this listing in style of realistic to a flair of impressionistic, have appeared in newspaper articles featuring my latest shows and awards. Many of my Ohio and Missouri scenes were given as prizes when Aleeta, me, was the only featured artist on the Bob Braun Show television show, that aired daily in Cincinnati, Ohio. My objective when creating my next masterpiece, whether it is a landscape, pet, or commissioned painting, is to show feeling that is expressed both in compostion and color.
