Grant Peterson did a right on these very lugs in The Rivendell Reader no. 21. He said they were sand- cast in the 30's, and assumed they were made by B.S.A. (British Small Arms), possibly Chater-Lea, though more likely B.S.A. He whent on to offer a $1000 to the first person to submit a photo of a complete bike made with these lugs, dead line, 1/20/2001
Hope this is helpfull

>From another list, she picked up a bunch of old steel lugs and could use help identifying them. Any ideas? She's in New Zealand, since she didn't sign off. :)

I scanned one of the bottom bracket lugs; - I've got quite a lot of these and you wouldn't want to stand on one if you're in the bad habit of wandering around your workshop barefoot.

I haven't done a proper sort out yet, but I think I've got full sets of this style of lug. Lacking for a name/make/brand I've dubbed these the 'Ouch' lugs because they look so bristling and fierce when heaped together.
I'll do some more scans soon,
Cheers,
Annie
