Seek Instrument From the Eakins Collection
By Chris Carlisle

I have a Peerless coin-operated piano passed down from my grandma.
The electronic parts have been removed years ago, but the piano is
in very good shape.

From the research I have been able to do the piano was made between
1908 and 1915.  The piano was made specifically for ice cream parlors,
taverns and other entertainment businesses.  The piano has a very
large oval beveled glass in the front which allows you to see the keys
moving.  The word "Peerless" is etched on the glass.  It was made by
Roth & Engelhardt and the number 36336 is inside in a oval cutout.
Any further information would be greatly appreciated.

It would be interesting to know if this piano could be restored.  Also
what value the piano has.

Thank You in advance for any help,

Kathy Struble
