Cycletruck Question Regarding Pedals

[OhioJones]

The blocks on my pedals are waffles. Were those ever used the first few years of production? Not much on the bike has been replaced, which draws me to believe that they may possibly be original...but, still i question.

Should have placed this in Schwinn. Meh

Waffles...stop your makin me hungry man and it's past my feeding time.

Same blue as on the frame. OG Schwinn blue. Pedals also say made in Germany. Like to learn more about this whole deal.

I have TWO 1966 cycle trucks and both have waffle pedals.

Do they have, "made in germany" stamped into them anywhere? I know that in the 60's pedals similiar to these were used on several schwinns. But, after doing some reading, have also seen them labeled as prewar. Not that that means much without examples and proof. :/

They just have a Schwinn approved logo on the ends.

The made in Germany mark would be on the back (inside?) of the pedal by the threads that would go into the crank arm. I looked at all mine Jones and had one pair that said "made in Germany", rest made in USA. These were the squared off lookin ones from later on not the nice rounded lookin ended ones you got you would expect to see pre-60 or so....about all I can tell ya man.

The mark is actually on the outside on these along with a small what appears to be square or D with something in the middle. Illedgible altogether. Damnit.
