Unknown cantilevers. Billet aluminum

I picked these up at the coop because I thought they looked cool, are light and they were relatively cheap. Any idea on who made them?

Close but, not quite:
3DV Purple Anodized Cantilever Brake


From bikerecyclery

Never heard of 3DV. Perhaps an obscure brand?

3DV just means 3D violet. It's a nickname given to that color anodizing.

They're certainly early, considering the toe-in adjuster, and they also use the DiaCompe type spring tension adjustment.
