What a charming find! This is a Schoenhut toy upright piano — a classic American-made children’s instrument with real collectible appeal.

Identification

A. Schoenhut & Co. was a Philadelphia toy manufacturer founded in 1872, famous for their all-wood toy pianos. This appears to be one of their upright piano models with stand, likely from the 1940s–1960s based on the:

∙   Plastic/bakelite key material (pre-war models had wooden keys)
∙   Reddish bakelite hammer/action mechanism visible in the lid-open shot
∙   Overall cabinet styling and turned legs
∙   The gold Gothic-script “Schoenhut” branding

The interior is wonderful — you can see the metal rod/pin action that strikes tuned metal rods (not strings), which is Schoenhut’s signature sound mechanism
