Just quirky enough, modern yet vintage, and with the right reach.

One of the mainland China companies made a version of those 25-30 years ago. Lee Chi, I think. Cheesy finish, and a MAFAC-style brake shoe attachment. They were OEM on some bottom end MTB's, Columbia or Roadmaster or the like.

The ones I'm referring to are terrible brakes. I don't know about the ones in your photo, but I'd be cautious.
