Torrington handlebars?

[Sting Ray Lover]

Are these Torrington bars or another manufacturer? These are the bars from the 50's Murray Fleet Line ladies bicycle I'm working on.

There is a hole on the right side and a small T stamped below the hole. Any info is appreciated. Thanks

Yes, I believe Torrington used to hang bars by hooks thru the bar to electroplate, 'em.

I thought I had read that somewhere but can't seem to find that info again. Thanks

Those would be Torrington bars, please show the knurled clamping area as the torringtons have a distinct look to that as well. A few manufacturers use a hole like that but the T is Torrington.
