Bikes: 1940s Fothergill, 1959 Allegro Special, 1963? Claud Butler Olympic Sprint, Lambert 'Clubman', 1974 Fuji "the Ace", 1976 Holdsworth 650b conversion rando bike, 1983 Trek 720 tourer, 1984 Counterpoint Opus II, 1993 Basso Gap, 2010 Downtube 8h, and...

The Wrights narrow saddles are W3N. They have the same frame as a narrow Brooks (B17N, B15N, B5N, Competition). They all had that pebbled finish, but it tends to disappear with use (which is why it's not visible on the used one). The second one appears to be NOS; unusual to see one in such nice shape.

The wider Wrights has the same frame as a Brooks Champion Standard (B17, B15, etc). Like the W3N it had a pebbled finish that tends to disappear. I think the model is WSt6.

All these Wrights saddles were made from the early 60's at least to the mid 70's, maybe a bit later.
