What are these pedals?

I see no markings on them.

Are they the Weyless pedals?

Or petals designed by Charlie Cunningham?

Bikes: 1970 Alex Singer, 63 Hetchins, 75 Motobecane Townie, more . . .

They look like some fairly inexpensive recent ones by VP or Welgo ?

I have come across these several times. always assumed they were Welgo (or rebranded as another Taiwanese brand). So nothing special or exotic, decent rider quality. Can't remember if the tiny plastic dustcap was any hindrance to re-building and repacking them.

My "best practice" is to always replace used pedals with new balls if the cones & races are good, then fresh grease and adjust them (as many tries as that takes!)

These use sealed bearings IIRC.

These are on a never been ridden campy built tortellini

so I thought they might be something more special.
