My best guess is that they are either Ringle or Paul. Anyone?

Avid Speed Dial Ultimate. Hands down. I had a pair for a while, but sold them as they were not compatible with linear pull brakes. Beautiful and very light.

Thanks for the tip, Smokinapankake.

I thought they might be Avids because of the venting, but the adjuster screw didn't quite look right and all the Avids I found had Avid written on them.

Any idea about what year or generation this might be?

Mid 90's. They came out in tandem with their Tri-Align cantilever brakes. Probably no later than '96, I bet. Shimano introduced V brakes in 95, I think, and they pretty much killed cantilevers within a year.
