It had to have been built between 1904 and 1934.
Finding it's value takes a lot more than some numbers. You don't even say what kind of piano it is (upright, grand, baby grand, player, etc). Take several pictures and contact local piano dealers. The high cost of shipping would mean it would have to be an extremely rare and valuable one if you were to sell it any way but locally. It is a good and historical name, but probably a piano you will have to sell locally.
