Scope and Contents:
These volumes record the number of the instrument, the model, the name of the purchaser, the date of the shipment, and related information (Volume 1A reports the original cost). Some volumes have pages stuck together; possible water damage. Some grand pianos from turn of the century onward are not listed in the ledgers. It is thought that Chickering may have had a duplicate set of serial numbers for grand pianos but this collection lacks that volume.
Collection Restrictions:
The collection is open for research use.
