Dear Kit:

This is a Wood and Brooks 90 degree action.  It went out of style in
the early 60's.  For quite a while Schaff carried replacement parts.
They may still have some.  The action was generally a little heavy.
The hammers were definitely heavy.  This action allowed the keybed
to remain at normal height even in small pianos without going to the
drop action (I know, Baldwin never drops their actions)
