It's Saturday! Let's see some seat stamps! | General Discussion About Old Bicycles
Seems most of the 1930s-1950s seats were stamped with a make/model or bike brand. Here's one from an Elgin Twin Bar seat, Troxel Artificial Leather, ~1938: let's se 'em!

Original Condition Saddle Reference Thread | General Discussion About Old Bicycles
As with all things old, saddles in good original condition are getting tougher to find as each day passes. Post up pics of good origies here, and if you can 100% positively identify the bike it came on please note that as well. Catalog pages and adverts welcome too.

I bought another 2 of these new hand made ( in Vietnam) wood model boats off Ebay. I posted a Chris Craft Cobra last week ( 28 inches long) with opening hatches and very detailed deck. The other 2 showed up early in the week. The other Chris Craft Cobra is 33" long, dual screws and a little different look to it/deck and hardware, still amazing. The real WILD one is a model of a one off ( in full size/models available still I think?) 1953 Ferrari hydroplane. Drop dead cool. 32 whopping inches. "Arno Ferrari Hydroplane Racing Speed Boat 32" Wood Model Assembled". For those who like to read see below. More adventurous, Google this boat ( the full size one) and watch it tear up the water!! The outside pics were before I added a decal or 2, few trim parts that came separate. Finding space for these was not easy and my G/F was not very open to having them in some of our living space ( I take up plenty already...lol..) There was a fine layer of sawdust on the models in the outside pics. The Cobra actually came in a wood crate, then boxed with styro!! For those with keen eyes, notice the nails pulled out slightly on the rear drive of the hydro, easy fix, drop of silicone goop and tap the nails in. Also the inside ring on the Cobra steer wheel came un- attached, an easy fix. Amazing they arrived almost perfect, but packing was superb!!
This museum quality, highly detailed, modern style, power boat model is brand new, fully assembled and ready for display (not a kit).The Ferrari Hydroplane model is handcrafted from beautiful wood and along with various other exotic wood. The hull is constructed using a plank on bulkhead method, each strip of exotic wood are carefully joined together to form a smooth hull. This model is completely hand built to spec by skillful and creative master craftsmen. On the Ferrari Hydroplane, you will find a variety of beautiful handcrafted metal parts such as: metal gauges, metal steering wheel, metal propeller and much more. Including gorgeous chrome exhaust pipes and detailed stiched leather seats. A wooden stand comes standard with this model. The 1953 Ferrari Hydroplane was built for Achille Castoldi (a wealthy boat privateer) by Cantieri Timossi a hydroplane builder on Lake Como, near Milan. The engine supplied by Ferrari was a type 375 V12 Grand Prix engine developing 385 BHP. In January 1953 Castoldi drove the Hydroplane dubbed "Arno XI" to an unofficial top speed of over 124 MPH.
Attempting to break the speed record set by his rival Mario Verga, Castoldi installed a new engine with twin superchargers. Burning methanol this new Ferrari engine produced close to 600 BHP. In October 1953 Castoldi set a new 800 kg speed record with an average flying kilometer 2-way speed of over 150 MPH!The speed boat has since been restored in the 1990s and was recently photographed flying across the water in September 2004.The model was built according to scale through original plans, pictures, and drawings. We absolutely use no plastic parts only the highest quality wood and metal parts.This model is carefully packed with two thick layers of Styrofoam for a damaged free shipping purpose. This model measures 32" long from bow to stern.

They are beautiful. I have a 1940's hand made 48" dual cockpit mahogany to sell soon but man I sure worry about packing it. I pack very well but I would worry.
