I have seen NOS aluminum-caged Campy con denti pedals in the dark blue = box, and NOS chromed steel-caged con denti pedals in the pale yellow, = non-glossy (earlier) box. Clearly the aluminum-caged con dentis are = earlier, (and rare as all get-out!). I have seen chromed steel con = dentis with a rubber "O"-ring on the spindle in lieu of reverse spiral = to keep the dirt out of the bearings. The rubber "O" ring was earlier. = The aluminum-caged con dentis had the rubber "O" ring too.=20
So, my *guess* is aluminum-caged con denti pedals late 50's to early = 60's, (1961?, 1962?); Chromed steel con dentis with rubber "O" ring = early 60's, (1961?, 1962?, 1963?); Chromed steel con dentis with reverse = spiral mid 60's to late 60's.
