Steinway without model letter...

Hi. I have a steinway and sons piano built in 1901. It doesn't have a model number and I was wondering what it was. Thanks!

Oh I thought you were talking about an upright  :)

Your O modell was made 1900-1913, 5`10"
After that they were 5`10½

Wow, the model O was a great piano. Is it rebuilt?
