I know the centre photo is a little bright but why does such an old piano that has not been restored have keys that look so white?

Not a famous brand. Doesn't have 88 keys. In this market, you would be lucky to find somebody you didn't have to pay to haul it away.
Top value in uprights: A 1930's mirrored Steinway went last year for $300 cash and free removal. Top of the line decor package, top of the line US made quality.

that 'not restored' fact will hurt the sale.
if anyone gives you $300 (as stated in the above comment) take it and run.
it will cost you more to move this piano, than the actual worth.
