Help dating early cam brake please?

[The History Man]

I like these and think they’d look great on a new very early pre-war project. Any ideas as to Age?

Loving the combined cable stop and calliper.

oooh thats a doozy!

Philco? Phillips? Bowden?

Another bloody rabbit hole to go down...

They do look a bit newer than you might think - I am finding all sorts of weird stuff

Even Lee Chi did some centre pulls!

Double ended cables required? Regardless of age I think they would look the part? Just about to unbox! Thanks cheese boy.

Reminds me of a BSA brake from the 50s
Any sign of their trademark?

Re:

I’m yet to remove the grime. We’re on a 55 lenton so you could be right. I like them for my 1930 sunbeam

Could have been used on BSA Sunbeams, 1930 is a bit early for chrome plate.
