I have recently purchased a 100-year old piccolo. It is stamped Geo. Cloos (who I understand was a flute maker in Brooklyn, NY), D flat, Low Pitch. It has six keys. Does anyone have a fingering chart?

I don't know of a fingering chart for Db, but until someone identifies one, you could try the following.
Copy the fingering chart on the following web page.
http://www2.dynamite.com.au/t.mcgee/fingering.html
1. Disregard low C and C#.
2. Lower each note (in the note column), and each key (in the Use Key column) by a half-step.
- your lowest note (all holes covered/no keys) is Db (not D as shown on the original chart)
- your keys are D (replaces Eb), E (replaces F), G (replaces
G#, A (replaces Bb), and B (replaces C Nat).
You can check it on a tuner, assuming that your piccolo is tuned to A = 440 Hz.
Hope this helps.

Because of its age it may be a fife. If no one responds, check at a web site for a fife and drum corps. Good luck.
