I have a set of hotwires branded performance, I know there are brands such as Cheviot and Aunger but does anybody know the history of performance? Are they rebranded?

You will notice the cross hatching is different, so is the location of the valve.

ive seen and had several sets of performance hotwires over the last 3 decades, nothing unusual about them and they are just as well made and look as good as the aungers and cheviots
