vintage pedals

[American Vintage Bicycle Supply]

I have had this set of pedals for quite some time now and never really thought anything about them....after i saw a pair like mine go for $30-40 dollars on ebay, I thought I might have something.They came off my 1940s German lady bike made by Union Bicycle Co. I cleaned them up thought that I could see if I could get any info on them...They are not for sale because if I do have anything worth much they will find a spot in my pile of parts for build off 5.

Any markings on the end caps or the center tube?

Prolly not worth much more than the vintage style. I have a couple pairs of Schwinn and a pair of Western Flyer. Might have more if I just dig a little bit.

"Union" made pedals for Schwinn and other co.'s. I don't know if it's the same Union, but they are both German. -Adam

That type of pedal is becoming more scarce as time goes by. Not good gear in cyclist terms, but great to have around for vintage display/rebuild use. They look like 9/16". Less common but not particularly sought after. :|
