Hammer shape - Steinway (Hamburg)

[Richard Moody]

These picts are from a Hamburg D ?   Are the hammers 12 years old
or  is the piano 12  years old.   What brand are the 12 year old
hammers?    I notice no under felt and picture # 0019 seems close
to the "pear" shape I was told about when in training.
Interesting the different terms used to convey the "ideal shape"
of SnS hammer.  ---rm
