I've never seen or heard of these, they came up on French Ebay. Home made by someone particularly skilled?

Quick release MAFAC's. I have a pair. The little red plastic doohickies always fell off.

Coincidence. I saw them yesterday for the first time and wondered whether they were hand-made. Apparently not. Thanks for clearing that up so quickly!

They should fetch a decent sum. I have a set, no problems with the red plastic ends for me. They sell for $120 to $180 a pair in good shape.

Any idea of the when? They look like early 70ies levers. I suppose these QR's got "replaced" by the little tab on the straddle cable of the competitions and the 2000's, a much more sensible solution.
