How old are these tires
Not on Velobase and a google search comes up with nothing. Seem to be in fairly good shape. Not sure I would ride them but they are eye candy.

Sheldon Brown said that Dunlop stopped making bike tires in the 1960's, so they're at least that old. Maybe those patent dates might help.

With all due respect to the late Sheldon Brown, Dunlop continued to manufacture bicycle tyres well into the 1970s. The CCM we rec'd at the LBS where I worked during the early 1970s used primarily Dunlop tires. A quick check of my 1975 dealer catalogue shows 23 different Dunlop tyres available .
