TOC Seat ID. Any help is appreciated!

It looks like a seat from an older India or Chinese bike. Like the Flying Pigeon type bikes. Looks similar to the old Brooks b33 too.

Similar yes, but a B33 has the rear springs made of twisted wires, and they are straight sided not conical.

Hi.

Thanks for @New Mexico Brant 's shout out, but it's not one that rings a bell for me in the UK or France, but a closer reading of the nameplate may help when it arrives, as has been suggested.

I do like @dnc1 's suggestion on the metric/imperial thread sizes.

Sorry I'm unable to help.

Best Regards,

Adrian

Thats why I said similar. Not too many other saddles have the triple rails. Most go from 3-to-2.

My gut reaction looking at this is also that it's of Asian origin. I would guess Japanese or Indian. It's hard to pin down a year because it seems like there was a very long span of designs like this. If i had to guess I'd say 50's-80's. This is just a wild guess though because like so many collectors on here I've completely ignored this segment of bikes.

Have this seat somewhere with name tag readable- it is some fancy name not bike related. Not TOC. Will attempt to find it soon or remember the name. French I believe -

Just came across this on eBay...in a completely different search. Similar frame, different rear spring, but hope it helps point in the right direction.

Are you perhaps thinking of 'Lamplugh' or 'Lamplugh & Brown'

It is a perfume or clothes rich fancy name that may still be around. We all know the name and now is bugging me. Looked for the seat for a minute - will dig it up eventually.
