Here are some, but not all of the parts I have collected.

I think that the seat I'm looking for would have a side profile similar to one of these adult seats. Notice in the picture I included from the IJ catalog that the seat looks much thinner than the seats I currently have and everyone is offering. Also, notice that the seat does not look to be rounded at the back corners, but more squared off. Just looks more like a longer, less rounded seat than anything I've ever actually seen. Then again, how would we ever know what a Troxel No. 36 C.C. seat actually looks like? It's not like there's one left in the box somewhere to compare it.

Does anyone have a clue what the C.C. might stand for?

Here's another adult example. Just looking at these seats, it seems like the way they built them changed somewhere in the late teens or early 20s. It seems like the older ones were built using a piece of plywood and 2 pieces of leather. The leather was sewn together around the plywood and the seam seems to be vertical in orientation. This created sort of the lip you see around the back portion of this seat (and the ones above). But, at some point, I guess technology allowed the manufacturers to stamp metal easily and they could create a metal frame. This created a more rounded and contoured seat. Since the metal also had sides, now the seam was below the metal and was more horizontal. This stamped metal, with its sides, made the seat appear much thicker than the earlier seats.

All of this is just my guess from studying these seats for the last few years.

I wish someone out there really understood these seats and how they were built and could tell me exactly what is in that picture from the catalog!
