FS: GB Synchron dual pivot brakes

[badams]

I have a pair of GB Synchron dual pivot brakes that I no longer need. Probably 1960s. They're in good, working condition.

£15 + postage

that badge space looks like the shape that Altenburg use ?

ah, that would make sense! I'd tried to figure out what make they were before but couldn't, and I don't know anything about old brakes so I couldn't hazard a guess. But someone else said that they were GB synchron. There is definitely a 'Synchron' (or at least the 'Synchro...' part of it) on the label, and what must be Altenburg above it. So does that mean they are contemporary with the other make or totally different, or what? Any info would be useful - I guess most of all for potential buyers.
