Well it's not a Brooks, it's Wrights that I got for $0. It is dry to the point of being brittle but it seems mechanically sound. I've been applying generous amounts of Mink Oil to both sides for a few days now.
Some of the rivets are coming through as you can see. Where does one buy new rivets and what type of hammer would you use to install them?
Thanks for any tips you have to help me put this old saddle back into service.
