Who made this awning?

Hi All,
In another foray outside of my Floor and Frame thread, I am looking for some help in identifying the only remains pieces from my 1970 Airstream's awning -- the bottom brackets... the spring loaded center "arm" swings out to allow an arm with a pin to be inserted and then secured.
I recently bought a Zip Dee awning (or at least several parts) from a 1976 Airstream and none of them look like the bracket in the picture.
Any pointers will help!


Thanks,
David

My A&E awning looks just like that. See picture for the appearance of the whole thing:

Mystery solved in a few minutes !

Hi Bele,
That is it !!! Thanks for the prompt reply! I do not have the additional piece to the right of the bracket like yours, but it sure looks like a match!


Thanks,
David
