These are second generation of Campagnolo-made skewers, running from the late 1940's to mid\/late 1950's.  They are coined the Dog Bone or Frankenstein skewer due to the twin tensioning bolts of the end nuts (replaced in 3rd gen late 50's with the \"D\" ring tensioner that ran through the 1980's). Note the frankenstein bolts are not original, the originals being dome end hex bolts. This is the \"Italy\" version, while some of this generation were made in Campy's Cognin, France factory and said \"France\" where the Italy usually is.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: medium;\"\u003eThe first gen of Campy-made skewers ran from 1938 to the mid\/late 1940's had a thinner lever blade with a \"wheel\" at it's end and text in two lines on top of each other.
