'mornin.

I came across a 're-build' yesterday. Part of the improvements made involved
new hammers, shanks, etc. These hammers had no discerning inner felt. I can
tell the difference between Renners, Abels, Ronsons, etc. from the color of
the inner felt, most of the time.

Does anyone know what kind of hammer is manufactured with no inner felt?
They sounded fine on new wire(they need a poke here and there), but I could
not tell what kind of hammer they are.

Anyone?
