 Charles R Walter Upright #505020.     
Well maintained in suburban home but will likely need a checkup. Not sure of the model. If not exact, this is a comparable model- https://www.reederpianos.com/retail/cwalter1500.html.

Donating after our mother passed. Well maintained by her. Could use tuning but will need it after moving anyway. Comes with the original bench. Additional pictures available.

 P.A. Starck Piano Co. upright piano, serial #112819, manufactured around 1924. The piano has been stored indoors in a clean, climate-controlled home. It has been in the family for many years and belonged to my in-laws, who are now older and no longer use it. It’s been well cared for and appears to be in good cosmetic and functional condition with only minor wear. It hasn’t been tuned recently but all keys are present and in working order.

 Wilmette, IL: It is old upright piano that working properly. The brand is Samick but model and serial numbers are unknown because I can't locate them and can not turn it around alone to look for them. It is located on 1st floor family room and easy to move out because there is no stairs and can be entered through garage directly.
