Are these English-Made GB (Gerry Burgess)? I have a pair of GB plugs marked with an address in Paris. Obviously a completely different GB. They came on my 1976 Romic and were apparently original, as I posted last year. Still a mystery who the French GB were. I thought it might be Gilles Berthoud, but a CR member pointed out that Gilles would still have been a schoolboy in 1976. The plugs are a color similar to the blue ones you are offering. Removed them from the Romic when I installed barends on it. They are now on a 1954 aluminum Duravia randonneur. Probably too new, but they look appropriate.
