VerifiedHi! My name is XXXXX XXXXX I can assist you. Can you please provide measurements?
From your serial number, which should be the number you gave, your piano dates circa 1920-25. The brand is of good to very good quality when compared with others of the same styles and eras. The current retail for an example such as yours in good condition ranges from $850 to $1,500 today.
Piano Make: Zimmerman , Established in 1884 in Leipzig, Germany
Rating when Reconditioned 60-75 (Top quality piano would be 100)
Dates of manufacture and serial numbers
1884 - 0001
1890 - 2650
1900 - 4800
1910 - 10001
1920 - 30001
1930 - 165001
1950 - 180001
1970 - 246001
1990 - 415600
2005 - 436557
Comments on this make: Pianos made prior to 1940 are of good quality, modern baby grands and uprights tend to be of lower to medium quality. However as of 1992, they have been taken over by Bechstein, who produce a fine piano with the Zimmerman name.
Here is an example of a Zimmerman from 1905 which recently sold for $2,200. Hope this helps! Best, Will
