Just brought in an 1874 upright. It had hinges on the bottom of the stickers, captured by a brass plate. Does anyone know what these hinges would have been made of originally? I'm looking at a wide variety of moth and mold damaged cloth with no way to tell what, if any, were factory installed. My inclination is to go back with thin leather for durability. There doesnt seem to be a need for cloth, noise wise, cause the sticker is clamped tight to the key when properly done. Any advice is, as usual, much appreciated. -- ----Dave ----------------------------- Dave Doremus, RPT New Orleans ------------------------------
