Persons Majestic Saddle page

I own a '38 Schwinn Superior (B880 at https://www.flickr.com/photos/schwin...7636542313313/).
It came with a tatty Persons Majestic saddle which was restored (photos at Persons Majestic | saddlewax.com).

Persons was a very successful bicycle saddle maker from the early 1900 to post WWII.
Unfortunately there is very little information about them on the web ... so the Persons page is sparse.

If anybody has old catalogs or good photos, please send them to amir@saddlewax.com.

I'm pretty sure you can contact the owner, Charles Persons, through that website. He might be willing to give you some company history.

Thanks Rudi. That's worth a try.
In the meantime I loaded the material that you sent (Persons Majestic | saddlewax.com).
Many thanks.
