if you look at the backside you will likely see a raised letter N sitting down in a recess; this marking stands for Nicklin

Never, Never, ever, ever, use Neatsfoot oil on a leather saddle! NEVER!

Gently clean with saddle soap, and apply Brooks Proofhide.

Most of the parts have come apart easily except the crank pins.
they are stuck, can you use heat on chrome?
crank is sturmey archer same as the rims the front looks salvageable.
the rear not likely, I suppose to find a 27” sturmey archer rim in not likely.?

You can drip in oil and gently heat the crank around the pin. Be careful not to scorch the finish around the bottom bracket. The best tool for the job is a cotter pin press, such as Bike Smith Designs makes (Park tool used to make them as well). If you're careful, you might be able to use a C-clamp and socket head to do it as well, but the cotter pin press is worth the investment if you plan to work on cottered cranks much.
