Lot Report

Note:

The Western Pianoforte Manufactory was a small, short-lived company which was established in 1856 by Charles L. Thomas in Hamilton, Ontario. In 1858, Theodore Heintzman closed his firm in Buffalo and moved to Hamilton to become a partner in The Western Pianoforte Manufactory. Heintzman gradually took control of the firm, and in 1860 he moved to Toronto to establish the now famous Heintzman Piano Company.
