Yeah, My ex-wife had an old upright, The only way I got rid of it was to get rid of her.
From a little bit of experience, with most older upright pianos, if you can get $100 you're doing well. If someone will take it for free, you're doing okay. If not, you'll end up having to pay someone to haul it away. I don't know that piano, and I'm not a piano expert, but do your research. Unless there is something extraordinary about it, the value just isn't there.

Fyi, the piano I bought probably weighed 300lbs or so. Used a car trailer to bring it home. If you were to pay someone to move it, it would be $$. And if it hasn't been tuned in a while, a lot of people may pass on the deal since they will have to get that done. Piano's are nice to have, but resale is horrible unless it's something spectacular or has a story.
This one is def more than 300lbs unfortunately. It was making grooves on hard wood floor when we rolled it on its wheels

If you go to move it, use a pair of furniture dollies. Most old pianos have brass wheels that seize up over time - especially if they are hardly ever moved. As to the value, I wouldn't expect much. People in the days of your pianos provenance bought a lot of pianos relatively cheap - they didn't have much in the form of entertainment.
When I used to live in Baton Rouge, there were two family-owned piano places - O'Neil's Music and Fruget's Pianos. Both were good people back when I knew them. Maybe they can steer you in the right direction.
How about a group shoot with tannerite. Make it you tube quality and maybe harvest a few pennies on it.
I have been told there is something like 30,000 lbs of force from the strings. Could be it's last song!
FWIW I went through the same process. Finally gave it away. Good riddance.
