As an instrument builder i have to disappoint you. The whole thing about pianos gaining value is kind of a myth. If i would redo the surface, it would be worth 20.000 to 30.000€ at max. Nobody would pay more for such an old instrument, that‘s why they rarely get restored in the first place unless they are really special. Expense to value ratio is bad and many old pianos are trashed because of that.
According to the serial number its from the 1920s, the golden era of Bösendorfer. Although it needs some work, its still in good shape for being 100 years old. ... Touch is light and pleasant. Tone is rich, deep and full of warmth and character. It sounds „bigger“ than you would expect in real life (more like a 200 despite being just 185cm). I cant stop playing and listening to the notes ringing out haha.

And the sound of that thing... Incredible.
Bösendorfer always has the best sound, it just adds that extra singing quality when a true artist plays it.
That bosendorfer though.
