From the little research I've done, it seems that the heart shaped Hawkins pad was not patented until 1919 in the U.S. Cant imagine any earlier in England, if at all. I had one on a 1902 CHE that was clearly old, not a new reproduction, and I presumed was added sometime after 1919. I have attached the page from the patent in pdf.
