Just before I give them away…
I’m pretty sure these are generic hubs, but just wanted to make double sure before I give them to the local coop.
Anything interesting or worth anything? I’m not able to ship them because I’m moving. Everything must go. Locally. Lol.

Not generic, but ubiquitous for the time. They look like they're alloy Maillard/Normandy high flange hubs.

Gnutti
note for example the contour of the shoulder where the dustcap meets the gear block threads on the drive side of the rear fellow
not the way Maillard does it
note the domed/convex outer face of the dustcap on the rear hub
the Maillard rear dustcap presents a flat face

here is a closeup image of the drive side face of a Normandy sport rear hub for comparison -

would expect rear to be Italian thread 36 hole 120mm OLD
original skewers would have likely been either Gnutti or BREV STOP

I'm guessing Sanshin/Sunshine. Decent hubs, but you're not missing out on a windfall if you donate them.
