Found some very early Thiels

Bought a pair of Conceptions Electronics Model 01 speakers at a flea market and it turns out they are Thiels (that was their original name).

Don't know much else yet, any help would appreciated. See photos at the links below.

I'm no expert on Thiels, but what makes you think your Conception Electronics are Thiels? Again, I don't know Thiel's history too well, but they don't look like any model I've seen from them, and I didn't see anything in your pictures that led me to think they were related.

Looks like maybe the OP is correct?

Years back they had a 8" (I believe) two way, with the well liked (at the time) Peerless rectangular frame dome tweeter. They were branded Theil, and had a conventional box like these. They sounded decent back then. This was years back. I don't recognize the drivers used it these. These had to have been earlier than the one I mentioned.
