In 1991 Silver Deer (Crystallite) produced the Swarovski Crystal 10 inch Emerald Castle (Wizard of Oz). It is signed (engraved) by the artist Charles Castelli. There were expected to be 1200 of them made. Shortly after 1991, Crystal World absorbed Silver Deer, started the enchanted castle series, and included the emerald castle in that series, but soon stopped production of it. The emerald castle retail price was around 1,500.00. The reason so expensive was the number of crystals, it is stunning. They may have stopped production because Charles Castelli left the company around that time also. Crystallite has no remaining records of how many were ever made. Not sure yet of Crystal World records. I think it is very rare. Mine is number 114.I have the certificate of authentication. No visible nicks, but the tiny top has separated, it would need put back on, and I have the top. It is truly a beautiful thing, I want to find out how many there are, what it's worth, can I sell it.........

We're not sure if this is the correct "Sterling piano company" but it's all we can find. We've already requested the piano be dated by the historical society and await an answer. http://derbyhistorical.org/sterling_piano_company.htm
This piano came with our home, with is a Bethlehem, PA row home, built in 1923. We're not sure if the piano has been here since the original owners. We know that the last owners (1 year only) and the previous owners (20+ years) have had it their full ownership period.
The piano as you can see in the pictures, says "Sterling New York" and under the lid the Serial # reads 80052.The company above (the website states) only made pianos from 1860s - 1920's. Was there any OTHER Sterling piano company?
We want to know these 3 things: How much is it worth as it stands? How much would it cost to refurb the entire thing? AND most importantly, how much would it be worth after refurb? We've seen someone state they were told they could get $22,000 for their VERY similar, same brand piano.
*NOT SURE* If the bench came with the piano or not.
So, we're trying to decide: junk yard, sell as-is, or refurb and sell? It's taking up precious dining room space!!
