I'm not the one that inquired but I just bought what appears to be the same saddle. Didn't know what brand it was, but seemed unique - same curled spring and shaped wood pan. Good to know.

If original

There is nothing I can read on the old leather but if original to the bike then is supposed to be a "hunt" brand saddle.

I'm surprised Crescent wasn't using Garfords..

Thanks for posting the pictures. I haven't been on here in months. I moved this summer and am just now starting to get settled. I still have my two Crescents.

These old saddles are elusive and getting really rare.

The carving of the wood pan is amazing.

Thanks for posting it, Oscar......!

Finished TOC saddle

Things are slow so following up on old started threads...

This is how the saddle turned out at the end, I say you should give your local horse saddle guy a try for these type of projects.
