Upon showing them around, speculation is they are Miche, Sunshine or Sansin hubs. No matter their provenance, I think they look cool! Nice satin finish for a more moderne application. These came off an early 1980's Colnago Super fixie conversion.<<<
I added the World Champion Colors stripes. I don't think these are Sunshine or Sansin. I don't recall an Asian hub that uses the Campy lock ring threading. They kind of look similar to the newer Miche track hubs, but the axle/bearing arrangement is strictly old-school cup, cone and loose ball. I'll have to check the axle threading. At the time I just repacked them, adjusted them and built up a new set of wheels. They are VERY Campy-like, down to the dust caps. Just no markings of any kind. I was thinking maybe Gipiemme or one of the other Italian Campy-clone types. These have no anodizing and would polish up nicely if I put in the effort.
Or maybe they are some really, really, really rare Campy no-name prototype racing hubs that are worth lots and lots of money.
Ya never know...

I have a set of hubs that are remarkably similar, and I have never been able to identify the maker. I bought these as a wheelset long ago. They were laced to some pretty trashed tubular rims, but I don't remember the brand. I rebuilt them and laced them to some contemporary Mavic clincher rims for my Rickert fixed gear road bike. When I got them, the front hub did not have dust covers. After first trying Campy Record track hub dust covers, I tried some from a Record road hub and they fit perfectly. The rear hub is threaded for (and came with) a Campy lock ring, and they are 32 hole. They can be seen here:
