<p>[QUOTE="Lisa, post: 79412, member: 569"]I'm not sure if this is the proper forum to place this questions. I have a baby grand Steinway piano dated 1857, 1858 or 1859 that I would like to sell. I would like to know if anyone has input on a good route to sell the piece. I contacted an auction house but I'm not sure if that would be the best route. Does anyone have any experience on selling an antique piano or suggestions?</p><p><br /></p><p>The history may be irrelevant, however the piece has some American history in it's ownership. The piece was originally purchased by my great great great grandfather who is known as the Father of Catasauqua, Pennsylvania and the founder of Thomas Iron Company. His wife is a direct descendent of John Jacob Mickley who helped save the Liberty Bell. I also have family pictures of the piece in the houses of my ancestors. Would this be something I should even consider including in the information of the piano? </p><p><br /></p><p>Would it be wise to go through an auction house?
