For the record, it seems that @bark_eater and I were both bidding on that seat post - or rather he was going for the whole pile and I just wanted that seat post.
Photos for posterity. It will need cleaning and polishing.
25.4 SR post. I have no bikes it would fit, I was only interested in it as a curio, I'd never seen one quite like it.
Thank you to @juvela for posting those photos!
After looking again at the photos he provided, I guess my idea that you could hang a seat bag off of the post is a non-starter as I'd assume the the seat post ears when mounted to a saddle would cover those holes....

thank you for the information
slots also provide mounting point for strap which could hold a spare tubular or a rain cape
you've certainly got an oddity there!

I have to be careful when I look at these oddities! I haven't anything that would fit it - assuming seller measured properly. I believe the advertising said they started at 25.8mm not 25.4mm.
When I see @bertinjim he suggests I need another french bike and french bikes seem to love thin seat posts!!!

This mid-60's. I have a '63 in my garage that is stripped still I need a replacement crank set) and that looks very close. Seat aside, this is in pretty good shape for being about 60 yers old.....

tough to go wrong with bertinjim as an advisor/consultant.
he has more velo savvy than i could accumulate in several lifetimes.
those slots on the pillar are so robust cannot help but think they may have been intended for something relatively substantial such as a rack or trailer hitch - usual wylde speculation on me part
...or how about the mount for a tandem stoker's handlebar...

When I worked in shops in the '70s, I much preferred this design (usually encountered in the Simplex version) to the coarsely adjustable and easily stripped type used on straight steel posts and even to the Campy two-bolt posts, with the all-but-inaccessible front bolt requiring repeated attempts to get the angle right.
The type being discussed here, with the vertical slots behind the clamp, is much easier to adjust: loosen the nuts, set the angle by tilting the saddle up or down so that the bolt slides up or down in the slots, tighten the bolts; done.

$400; There was a recall on those Lambert/Viscount aluminum "death forks". Logos all the place lol; on the brakes, shifters drop bars, etc but that was how it came from the factory.

$115. This model used Columbus Tenax tubing (jury is still out on whether its a rebranded Columbus SL or SP ). Either way the price seems reasonable.

Assuming this is optimistic pricing, but don't see these much. Paint is much more dramatic/elaborate than my black one.
wait there's more . . .chrome lugs this time

*edit* Just checked the pix and both caps are missing.
Those Lambert bars have a deeper-than normal drop.

possible that paint finish may be a respray done by his son following the retirement and move back home to Barcelona of Francisco
his son kept workshop going for a time following the father's retirement
the son offered braze-ons, repairs and painting but no new construction
do not wish to assert that this is the case - mention it only as a possibility...
