If you're inquiring about the shocks, I can honestly say I've never seen shocks with that type of oil reservoir setup on the bottom.
Pretty interesting looking though.

Do they have any type of numbers or markings on them?

I have never seen any like these before. Was hoping they were worth thousands on EBay!!! It appears to be an indian head at the bottom.

WOW What a RARE FIND ! Those are the shocks off of Tonto's saddle back when he rode with the Lone Ranger. You should be able to get MILLIONS for them on ebay.:laugh:

They may be Red Wing brand shocks, (an early reservoir style race shock), or perhaps a Red Wing knockoff. This guy used to sell them on his web site, but I don't see them listed any longer.

They were popular for flattrack and were considered quite good.
