Anyone recognize these pedals?

I can't find anything I'd consider identifying marks. They were on a repainted and misdecaled frame circa 1981 that had a mix of Suntour, Campy, and Stronglight.

edit: I tried the speedplay site but didn't find one with the sloping side.

Bikes: 1 trek, serotta, rih, de Reus, Pogliaghi and finally a Zieleman! and got a DeRosa

they look like a weyless variant, went to www.speedplay.com history page but
the quill pedal section isn't working. That would be your best source to Id them when
it's working again.

The cloverleaf logo in the first image should be an identifying mark. I've seen that same cloverleaf on other pedals and toeclip strap buckles, but I don't know whose logo it is. Anyone?

It's a Taiwanese knock-off of a Shimano D-XT Comp pedal. You know, crap.

Logo might be for Wellgo.

No parts available if they're not smooth and happy inside.

^correct, Melville^ it's Taiwanese and sold as "Wellgo" but maybe other brands, too. It may be one of those annoying models where the cones are swaged onto the axles, making them impossible to rebuild without effectively destroying them...disposable.

You guys must have gotten out of the wrong side of the bed today. They still spin just fine for 25+ years of hard use, thank you. Just for grins I decided to take it apart. End cap pops off, threaded spindle. 10mm nut followed by a washer followed by a 12mm nutted race. Removeable spindle. A good set of little ball bearings on both sides. Maybe Taiwanese but not annoyingly cheap.

Good, then you got one of the better Taiwanese pedals...but once you've encountered a few of those disposable ones, it tends to turn you sour (I hate having to add to the landfill just so some manufacturer could save a few pennies/seconds in assembly: criminal waste).

Not 25+ years. The pedal they're knocking off is 1990 at the oldest. Hard use would have worn some of the paint off the cages. Put it together and use it for sure, but when you start actually applying force, stuff's gonna go. Big question is whether you munch the bearings or bend the spindles first! Edit: Forgot the cage coming unscrewed option!

I had to work with that stuff every day--round about 1990 suddenly even the high end bikes came with crap pedals, as the mfrs assumed that everyone was going to put snap-in pedals on anyway. Some people didn't. Hear them roar:

"Why does it make that noise?" "I feel a crunching under my feet...." "I was JRA, and my pedal snapped when I stood up on a hill..." "So it came apart. Are the bearings really that tiny?" "I paid $1,500 for this..."
