Color of Painted Piano Plate
By Andy Taylor

Hi gang,  I have encountered a number of older uprights (I'm working on
one now) that has a dark bluish paint on the plate.  I was wondering,
does anyone know approximately in what year (or era) the piano industry
started using gold paint on cast iron piano plates?
