This thread interests me because when I recently resurrected my `69 Raleigh the old Brooks saddle, while looking OK, was dry rotted and split the first time I got on it. I was going to replace it with a new B17 but a fellow I met at the shop gave me this...
He didn't know its exact age but thought it was likely from the `70s. (He himself was younger than that, so?) In any case it seems fine and apart from feeling firm (as much from the fact that I hadn't even say on a bicycle in 30 or so years as the saddle itself) it is quite comfortable.

Can any one identify the exact model?

BTW I bought some Proofhide and applied it, just to the top, once.
