<< I have just seen a small Steinway and am wondering what model it could be.
It is 185 cm long, has 85 keys, 3 pedals, 3 bridges, round cylindrical legs.
Serial number ~70700, that would be around 1891.
Any info about this model? >>

That would be one of the Model A pianos. The earliest style, I believe.  
There were, iirc, two more model "A"s with the larger one, (6'4").
