1897 Rambler seat (Ladies)

[PJ Fitz]

Does anyone know what a correct seat might be for an 1897 ladies Rambler? I believe that Rambler offered a choice of several seats by 1897 but I could be wrong. I have a seat but it is very small and does not appear to be original. I'd like to find one that might have come with the bike.

The saddles that were used in 1897

are called the G&J "hygienic saddle".

I have one but it will need to be recovered

There's one on Ebay right now that would be period correct and has a good foundation. It just needs a new top leather which you should be able to get done on here by someone.

I have a few others that are originals to my bikes

Here is the one from one of my Toronto, Canada made The Sterns

Here is the one from my Gendron model 22.

Interesting part about this saddle is that the wood frame is marked : "for saddle repairs, pre pay charges and send direct to the Butler & Ward Co. Newark. N.J."

I wonder if I can still send it in for repairs?
