Scott,
I have a early 60's Cinelli catalog that lists four saddles. They are listed as "Unica" pat Nitor models 50, 55, 65, 70. The logo on the side of the saddle is an oval with "UNICANITOR" at the top of the oval with "BREVETTATA" centered and "MADE IN ITALY" along the bottom edge of the oval. I don't see a Cinelli logo anywhere on the saddle.

I have some Nitors The most unusual is one , in green, has a single vertical beam with a horizontal slot and a Nitor post to go with it
Also a collection of Unicanitors *and their Mexican cousins, the Unicanimex, in plastic, perforated plastic, and some artsy ones with quilted padding (similar to the diamond quilted ones from 70's Japanese 10-speed imports.
There's another with scrolly embroidery from 1980.
Soon, I can get some pix posted
