Subject: [CR]Georges Sorel Components

I have two pair of toe clips in original boxes made by (or at least sold under the name) Georges Sorel. These are made in Italy, and while the ones I have are black anodized alloy, the box indicates that at least seven other types and/or colors were available. Some of the versions available included gold plating and what appears to be color and graphic silk-screened print (box has color pictures and a list of part number check-boxes on the end panel).

Is anyone familiar with these clips? Seen/own any of the versions? Did Georges Sorel market other components?

I don't recall parts by this maker being mentioned on the list before.

Recollections?
