Looking for Family heirloom - KIMBALL Piano for sale in Le Mars, Iowa

Description
I am looking for a Kimball piano, an upright but not as tall as one (I think they are called a console piano or maybe a spinet, or a studio?)
Could have been make in the 1920's. It's hard to ask my grandmother now, as she has Alzheimer's (sp?) disease and gets confused about things. See pictures below for color. Had "KIMBALL" in gold and black-like lettering on it (if memory serves me right). May have even had "Chicago" under the word "Kimball", I don't remember now.
It is a family heirloom I am desperately trying to locate:
It was my Grandmother's; was given to her by her mother (My Great-grandmother). It was (I think) a wedding or anniversary gift given to them by her mother (My great-great grandmother). It would have been purchased in Chicago, illinois as that's where they were living at that time.
My Grandmother gave it to "us kids" and we kept it for many years growing up. My sis and I took Piano lessons for some time, learing to play on that piano. It holds many memories for me; the sound quality was exceptional - I loved the way it sounded and played. The keys were not "hard" or "stiff" to push as some other pianos are. The keys may have also been scratched, as my brother, (when he was very small), had taken my mom's car keys and tried to "play" the piano with them. I have no idea if anyone who "owned" it since has fixed that or not.
After my sis and I graduated High School, we lived in apartments for some time. My mother gave the piano to her brother, who gave it to their brother (Don & Sherry Johnson), who gave it to some friends they know, ...and eventually it found it's way out of the family and became "lost". I have been trying to locate it ever since as I have my own home now, and would really love to get our family heirloom back.
If you know of someone who may have a Kimball piano that fits the description, who may (or may not) have aquired it through friends or aquaintences, PLEASE call me or respond to this ad.

The pic below was taken in the late 1980's or early 1990's. This is what it looked like then. I would really like to find my piano again. Thanks.
