Mystery Cleat ID Help Request

Greetings All -

I've been polling the grizzled veterans I know, but so far, no one seems to recognize this cleat:

http://home.earthlink.net/~cyclofiend/Images/Cycling/misc/MysteryCleat.jpg

It was on a low-cut pair of SIDI's which I found at a thrift shop, which I'd planned to use on my
fixed-gear which has platforms and straps (um, that's pedals and toeclips - not some new Victoria's
Secret collection...).

Any help would be appreciated - I can supply more photos if necessary.

I think I remember that one, but for the life of me, I can't remember what it was. IIRC, the pedal
was similar in concept to Onza's elastomer system, but built on something like a Suntour Superbe
Pro pedal.

Anyone else?

Haven't seen one of those in quite a while! That is a Grafton MTB pedal cleat from the mid 1980s.

Ahaa! Thank you Michael - hadn't thought to look at MTB pedals!
