Looks like a very nice example.

I recall playing an unrestored one of those (about the same year) at a concert in Wales a few years ago. The piano was about one and a half semitones flat, and because the singer I was accompanying was already struggling for some of the low notes, I had to transpose some of the songs up a bit to compensate. One of them I had already been transposing. This is where perfect pitch ain't so clever - I was reading one key, playing another and hearing a third. I like period pianos but that gig was hard work $:-\$
