On my new-to-me C-27, I have a set of self tailing jib sheet winches. There is absolutely NO identification on them!!! Weird. Does anyone know if there was a standard, and if so, what were the winches that were equipped in 1975?

I will try to get pics, but I have none yet. Stay tuned...

as an afterthought, if they are true self tailers they are not original to the '75 - do they have plastic self tailer attachment on top - that might cover the original markings on a barlow winch are only on the top central chrome piece?

No plastic / rubber winchers on these. They do not have the feed and strip horn hanging outside the toothed ring as typically is found, either. The stripping mechanism sort of rides INSIDE the toothed ring, attached over the top and fastened around the handle hole on top of the winch. I was studying last night, (why didn't I take a picture?) and it appears thay were etched quite shallow with some ID, but the etching is largely worn off, with only a tiny bit left; too vague to make anything out.
