Presented in this lot is a Victorian Schoenhut Toy Upright Piano, circa late 19th century, wooden toy upright piano with seven keys, decorated with a Neoclassical lithograph showing chirping birds flanked by cherubs sitting on tree branches above Symphony name. The Schoenhut Piano Company is an American manufacturer of toy pianos, dolls, and other wooden toys. It was founded in 1872 in Philadelphia as the A. Schoenhut Company by German immigrant and woodcarver Albert Schoenhut, who had begun making toy pianos during his youth in Germany. Both his father and grandfather had been toy and doll-makers. The company began with making toy pianos and soon expanded to other toys such as dolls, doll houses, and circus figures. By the time of Albert Schoenhut's death in 1912, Schoenhut Piano Company had grown to become the largest toy company in the United States, and the first to export its products to Germany. The Great Depression forced the company into bankruptcy in 1935, but a year later Otto Schoenhut opened a new company called O. Schoenhut, Inc., continuing the legacy. This wooden toy upright piano is in good overall condition, still in original working condition, original paint finish is in good condition, scratches noted, piano key paint colours have slight scratches. Measures 8.5"W x 5.75"D x x 6.5"H
