Help Identifying these men's bars!

[THEGOLDENGREEK]

So I've had these for a very long time. Was cleaning a room found these in a bin. There are no marking on them that I can see nor any holes. Don't know if torrington made the or wald. Any how I ask a few people. They have to me there Elgin bluebird, possibly also Elgin robin handle bars. I would like to confirm this any help would be appreciated!

Wow George Awesome!

From what I have seen on early Wald shim bars the spot crimpling is more random and hand finishing marks are around the shim radially.

On Torrington shim bars the spot crimping is more centered and has longditudinal clamping lines.

No R stamped on the shim? They look like Rollfast bars to me.

Same here. Looks Rollfast. I should know as I just ground the shim off them. I had 2 sets or so I thought but the other pair isn't shimmed. Got a flaired set.

I think he would have noticed an R stamped in the shim!

Btw do you know who made the bars for Rollfast? Probably Wald.

I've seen a few with light or worn down stampings so...its possible it was missed. They have the curved profile I've seen on Rollfast bars. Not sure who made them, but I know Rollfast made several of their own parts, including obviously bearings, but also stems, spokes and nipples.
