Ran across the original seat that came on my late 70's Raleigh Record the other day. It's a regular-looking vinyl covered saddle, but it says Brooks and made in England on the back. I've followed a lot of the Brooks threads on here -- did they make these themselves, or did they buy some inexpensive seats and put their name on them? By the way, I replaced it back then with an Ideale 39, and still use that on the Record.
