Anyone know who made these outside brakes.

I don't think they are one offs. The lever is marked F7 and is the only markings I could find. If no adjustment was made when they were taken off, the ID is abut 10-1/4", too big for small drum too small for big drum. The brake band is just over 1-1/4". Looks to be passenger side. I only was able to find the one side but did find the mounting bracket for the other. The mounting bolts do line up with small and large radius rod mounting holes. My guess is a larger drum would have been put on like the 25 back Rocky Mountain. Any ideas?

Looks like a pre 1928 Chevy design. They used to remove the drums and sandwich them like we do small drums today.
Just Saying,

Great that is a place for me to start. I was thinking Chevrolet but thought maybe the band would be too narrow.
11/23;
Did some checking, looks like at least in 25 the rear drums were 11" (id/od?) and would have had the rear mount point like most, not the clip like shown. Going to keep searching, maybe something will turn up.
