Unknown BS Hairpin Saddle. Wanting any info

[ispy]

Hi
I just found this off an old Penny Farthing Bicycle and can't find anything similar in an exhausting extensive research task.
I've put it on my Vintage Electric Cycle and love it but I'd like to know exactly what brand it is.
Thank you in advance.

Brown Saddle? Different stamping but BS for short. I've never seen that stamping before and it would be a good one for this thread, on Saturday.

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!

Thank you so much for that information.
Due to it's simplistic under design I thought it might be a recent (within the last 40 years) reproduction but the leather is old and it came off a circa 1915 bike.

Your saddle spring appears to be chrome plated. That would indicate it is post 1930, unless it has been replated.

Yes I've just been learning that by going through what GTs58 suggested as most of the older ones were worn black and also mine is a lot simpler in design underneath.
