Look Ma, No Hands!

This is an Ideale model 42 saddle, the model Schwinn imported for the Varsity in the early 60's.

It probably came out of an old Schwinn shop. It has never been ridden, as far as I can tell, but it may have been on a bike for a while. There's some shop wear, corrosion on some of the rivets, etc.

It is a really good looking saddle, I think, but I do not recommend this saddle for a daily rider; the leather is stiff, probably dried out for a long time (I applied neatsfoot oil a year or two ago, and again more recently; but it has not softened the leather as far as I can tell).

I was thinking $50 plus shipping (which will probably be around $10).
