In Delaware my GGG-gr'father bought a pianoforte for $300 for his daughter 1860/70. What would it look like?

Answer 1

I'm guessing it would look like any other pianoforte from that era.

Seriously though, they are just what you would recognize as a piano from today, only older and less streamlined. If you're talking about what that specific pianoforte looked like, there's no way to tell without the maker's name and more information.

Here's a link for another pianoforte that was made in the 1860s.
