Does anyone know what cranks these are? And if they are stock or modified?

Thank you

Old rusty cranks, like me.

Maybe some good cores but need work to determine if they are usable. None are counter weighted.

If those are not too far undersize it could be good run for a grinder to do.

If too far under, a good start for mailbox posts...

Could be Model B - your micrometer will know for sure.

Hmmm. Well I guess I am at a stage in my life where even if they are fine, I'd be inclined to not use those. Not every one really knows what they are doing turn, counterweighting, and balancing. Although these look seasoned, modern metalurgy has came a long way.

Reliability has became more of a priority for me as I have aged.
