Catalog Note:
The Storytone piano (Lot 255) was a collaboration between RCA Manufacturing Co. and Story & Clark, resulting in the first American electric piano. Lauded for its realistic quality of sound, it was first presented to market at the 1939 World's Fair in New York City.

This Deluxe piano bench was originally marketed with the Storytone piano as an optional upgrade.

Light scratching and wear to wood. Vinyl fabric shows crackling and losses and the foam has hardened. Record player and radio are untested.
