Listers, I have just bought a pair of these levers for possibly a good price (I haven't received them yet)
I couldn't find many good images or good information on them on-line and I'm hoping that you (all) might be able to help.
Do any of you have links to good images of the levers?
How many types were there? I know of 3 but can only find images of 2; And who made them?

What were the years of popularity? I've seen photos of Bartali using them in 1949 (I think for the first time) - oddly not on the bike in The Competition Bicycle, though some photos of that year's Tour do show them. Bartali seems to be riding the ones from the first link - or very similar.
Some seem to fetch good money, is one design more desirable than the others?
