It is on my 1991 Trek 1200. It sits pretty decent. There also some letters on the back that the camera can’t pic up that I think say Gel. The saddle sits pretty firm, but isn’t really uncomfortable.

Probably Vetta Gel. A pretty decent but common saddle. I don't think that by that point Trek was all Bontrager everything. Yours looks in bad shape if the cover has come unglued.

Awesome thank you. I am planning on replacing it, but I couldn’t tell if there was more letters or not that had rubbed off where the Vetta part was.

You can find pretty good / cheap saddles in the same style as it's a popular item to swap out. Saddles are one of the most customized pieces on a bike because it's really hard to ride an uncomfortable bike.

That cover could be re-glued on, but unless you really love the saddle, don't bother. Gel saddles tend to either get rock-hard or fall apart after several years.
