Weinmann engraved centerpull brakes are illustrated in the 1959-1965 Holdsworth catalogues (don't know about 1966). The 1967 Holdsworth catalogue shows the Weinmann centerpull with the more familar indentation for the brand/model tag.

The 1963 Guarantee Cycle Co. catalog shows the engraved Weinmann centerpull.

.... the earlier Weinmann brakes with "Vainquer 999" engraved on the outer arms, etc. It is clearly earlier, perhaps late '50s. Anyone have a sense when Weinmann changed the brake design?
