It has square tips at different angles. It has inscribed on = one head Made for Amfelt Co. by J. Erlandsen, New York. No date, but = this has to be very old. Dick RPT MT ----- Original Message -----=20 From: Ray T. Bentley=20 To: Pianotech=20 Sent: Saturday, August 04, 2001 5:10 PM Subject: Today's Unusual Find Hi, List! Today in the bottom of a 1913 York Upright an old tuning hammer. It = has a double tip making it "T" shaped. Both tips appear to be the same = size, but are rectangular shaped rather than star or oval. Perhaps it = will work on oval pins on square grands. I can check that out next time = I tune my sister's old square as a labor of love! It is also an extension hammer extending from 10 1/2 to 15 inches. = There is a slotted set screw to tighten the position of extension. The = double tip is removable. The shank diameter is a little less than = modern ones. The handle is a pretty decent wood, though the finish is = checked like old upright finishes often are. Does anyone have a clue to its age, or manufacturer? There is no name = anywhere on it. If anyone would like a picture, perhaps I could do one = sometime with my digital camera and send it to you privately. Would it = be of interest to anyone to see at a convention display? BTW, the piano owner offered it to me when I asked her if I could take = a picture of it! Ray T.
