[CAUT] I.D. these hammers?

[Tim Geinert]

Mark,
They look very much like a set of "stock bore" hammers I got from Ford in the early '90's.  Those hammers were definitely cold pressed hammers and needed to be juiced, but were just fine.

   Hello all,

  I've just bought a 1926 Mason & Hamlin A, with hammers about 10 years old (see photo), which I can't identify. Does anyone recognize these? 
    They appear to have mahogany moldings with European-style coving, and pink ... okay "magenta" underfelt.

    These hammers have very little wear and sound quite nice. I am thinking of keeping them, however the shanks might just have to go.... what do you think!?  ;>)

    thanks,

    PS Piano arrives here Wednesday, so I'll be able to take a closer look then.
