Weird bicycle seat
I found this seat in the parts bin at the Bike Exchange when we were doing our yearly clean up. It says Troxel and Moscow Tenn. on the frame . I've never seen anything like it before.
Anyone know where it might have come from.
I don't think we have had a wierd seat thread before so how about posting some pics of unusual or down right painful looking seats and saddles you have or have seen.

That one might look pretty good on a vintage riding lawn mower.

Looked on E Bay and found one similar seat. probbly from a baloon tired Schwinn or similar. Some restorer would probably like to get a hold of it.
