A History Mystery: A Delmar Piano

Do you love a good history mystery?  Can some piano lover out there help solve this one?
A gentleman from Peyton, Colorado sent me the pictures below.  We are thinking that this is a brand of piano.  It certainly wasn't made in our hamlet of Delmar, NY.  But who made it? Where was it made and when?  Thoughts anyone?

  1. Hello, I'm the gentleman from Colorado who owns this piano. I have finally got the answers on the origin of this piano from The Antique Piano Shop (https://www.antiquepianoshop.com). Here's what they know:

    Thank you for your inquiry. We have restored a handful of Delmar upright pianos over the years and they are very well-made pianos. Delmar pianos were manufactured by The Kohler & Campbell Piano Company of New York. Based on the serial number you provided, your piano was built circa 1907. Your piano is made of imported Honduran Mahogany wood and is of the Colonial style.
