If no marks, it may be one of these. I don't know what they are but was told they were military surplus. Same type of swage I think.

That doesn't mean anybody I know ( except maybe JStan ) doesn't buy new sets on a whim.
When you are talking stoppers, you won't go wrong staying on top of what is available.

The classic #4 chouinard wired stopper worked back then still works now and will still work in the future.
It is still a standard milestone to which all nuts are measured against.
If you don't have the classic #4 chouinard wired stopper on your rack today you are "N00B" ..... :-)

three different posters to this thread still have and use Chouinard equipment made 40 years ago
Guess we'll have to make it four. I don't get out much, but when I do I reach for a Stopper before a cam.

I have the classic unwired #4 Stopper on my rack.
Not so hot with Nylon cord, but Kevlar is good.

Nice one!
Kevlar on the #4 stopper is sweet (stays put)!

Yay, I'm not a n00b! But still a patzer, just not a n00b.
