Does anyone know what kind of speakers these are? As you can see, the only code stamp is "M 12 N".
They're 12's that came out of an accordion amp. They sound really good, very JBLish.

Cartwright, possibly a Jensen? Carl

Hard to say for sure without the E.I.A. code, but M12 was a Magnatone amp that used Oxford or Jensen speakers.

Looks like CTS... find other numbers on the back... starting with 137 is CTS, 67 is Eminence.

Thanks guys, I guess the mystery continues. There are no other markings so who knows?
They remind me of a pair of Standel labeled Jensens I had years ago, like these they also had the aluminum dust caps with little felt circles covering the holes.

Nice detective work Stephen, but those are alnico, mine are ceramic.
But they might be Rolas, these look pretty close:
