Circa 1890 I am guessing and most likely worth the effort. If it were I  =
replacement with a Schwander style or Yamaha hammer butt would be an =
idea that might be an answer. That way one would not have to rig a =
return rail.
Just a thought I do not remember if there is clearance for that style =
butt.
The brass rail should be discarded MOO!

    Hi Jack,
    Is this the Chickering that has a silk cord tied into a brass plate? =
The cord then catching the hammer return spring?
    If it is, All the damper assemblies have to be installed after the =
cords are hooked up.

      Hello

        I am rebuilding a chickering upright. This one has the brass =
flanges. They all work good. My question is should the brass flanges be =
changed to wood? If so why?  Is the reason for changing the flanges =
because they break or is there something more?
