Looking for Philco brake callipers, levers, to fit Drysdale Red Devil vintage bike. Any help appreciated, thanks, Ralph (Vancouver BC)

Thanks for the note..... I have a Drysdale Red Devil bike, and apparently they may have been originally equipped with Philco brakes. Here are 2 pics taken from Mr. Google.... any help appreciated, thanks, Ralph

I have the calipers but not levers. I'll send you some pics later this a.m when I am at the shop.

I have a rusty old rear brake, probably from the 30's; and a later production one, NOS. The latter is also a rear; I believe it is complete, with cable and lever. I do not have a front one; I did, but I installed it on an Alvin that I sold. The front one is going to be hard to find....

I will try to remember to take a photo of what i have, and post it tomorrow.

I trust you realize they are absolutely terrible brakes!
