Phillips saddle

[flatfender]

after welding some spring mounts on a friends pedicab

I got this from him along with a set of cruiser bars as a trade for the welding.

after doing some searching around I have not been able to figure out any info on it.
embossed into the leather on the sides is J.A. Phillips & Co Ltd, Birmingham England, P2
as seen it also has the Phillips tag on the back.
anybody know if a good leathersmith could rebuild the front of the seat? I would like to keep the original leather, not just replace the whole thing.
As soon as I saw it I envisioned a low flying, full fendered, bare metal cruiser. 8) Off to the flea market next week to pick up a couple of beach cruisers.

I love bikes that are built around a part. As far as Phillips goes they made alot of English bikes and that seat looks very old, good luck with your build.

thats seat looks like it would be really comfortable if it were whole. the chrome looks really good for as old as that seat is. best luck with the build! ohh, and i like your shirt

all the chrome should clean up nice with a brillo pad. the shirt is one of my favorite ones, got it when I was in Coast Airbrush in Anehiem a year and a half ago (pinhead heaven 8) )
