List,

  I've seen a few of these over the years. This from a 1940 Marshall and Wendell spinet.
 The action (not shown) is a conventional console type  action . The whippen cushions sit on these "lifters?" .
 Easy in and out of the action, but key removal requires removal of each dowel . Aside from that issue (which would be a real pain if you needed to remove the keys) this is a pretty nice design.

Jack -- Do you know the maker ?   I'm guessing Thayer but I don't know why.
