Bikes: Looking for "the One"

Eaton's Cobra - Cantilever Brakes

It's really funny how things show up in 3's. I'd never seen an Eaton's Cobra before (sold by the famous now-defunct Eaton's Department Store) until I saw one at the Co-op. Then, two days later - another! This time I struck up a conversation with a guy who was parking his Cobra at the grocery store. He mentioned he's ridden it for 40 years and was the original owner. THEN, during a reclaim drive two weeks later, another Cobra reared it's head. I found the canti-levers interesting. Anyone seen these guys on another bike? Note the somewhat proprietary pads. I'll see about getting a photo or two of the whole bike.
