59 Hornet seat question

[Floyd]

What seat should my black and orange Hornet have? I think the all black is incorrect

The orange is most likely oxidized red. Here's a similar bike and the seat looks to be original:

Here's the 1959 catalogue page for boys Hornet: http://www.trfindley.com/flschwinn_1951_1960/1959_06.html

A photo of your serial number, close-up would help; type out your serial number as you read it. Rear rack and headlamp on your bike are later vintage than 1959...

Your bike appears to be a 'Deluxe Hornet'...

Thanks guys! I wondered if black and white S seat was what I need. I know my rack and light aren't correct cause I put them there! Figured a few Fleet parts was better than nothin.
