2 part Brooks saddle question

They set it aside for me at the co-op, and then charge me $10.

i’m thinking of donating it back to the co-op after it’s clean for the annual silent auction on December 14. I will send a link so people can bid online. I have a feeling that many people will lust after the vintage stuff like us.

First question, I see it has some white paint on it. I don’t know if this is from rubbing against a white painted wall or maybe it was wet paint when it went on. I’m frightened to use goof off latex remover in case that affects the leather finish.

other than using 0000, steel wool, are there any better suggestions?



The saddle came off of a JC pennies bike. Clearly not stock.

Second question, the Bottom has some stampings, I heard a rumor that you can tell vintage by the stampings, and then I heard another rumor that the key to the stampings has been lost. Anybody know approximate age of the saddle?
