Are these Torrington 8 pedals?

Hi all, seeking verification on manufacturer and model of these pedals. Prewar Torrington 8 pedals?
Thx!

They sure look like it to me. Look closer. The 8 will be in the middle of the end cap. You don't even have to figure out which way is up because it is an 8.

Thx! I see R stamped on one pedal end cap. I need to look closer for the 8

Are you able to take them apart to see if they have serviceable bearings.. Just need to shoot a little WD40 or some kind of penetrating oil on the nuts and they should come right apart.. 8’s should have another nut on the inside on the shaft to get at the bearing’s..

Thx! Maybe I should disassemble. I don't really need these.

You won’t wreck them! If anything you can regrease
Them and reassemble.. blocks look really decent.. I like the worn look over repop blocks..

The whole point of these is that they are rebuildable, The axles are high quality and usually not bent. If the axles are straight, you are well on your way. It is tough to tell age, They might be prewar, or not. Look on the flat part between the center and the heads of the pedal block shaft. It will probably say torrington there, but there's no doubt in my mind what they are.

Consensus so far is Torrington 8 pedals.
