I'm in search of the following parts to rebuild a 1934-35 Hetchins, but I'd rather they be used looking as when I finish building the cycle I want to reflect an unrestored cycle of the era. The frame could well use restoration, but it has evidence of very rare transfer that were unknown until this frame surfaced.
I need preferably a Brooks seat, chain set with pedals, preferably both Chater lea, wing nuts, head clip, and hopefully a pair of Bluemels "clear" celluloid fenders.

The Brooks saddles of that era had an oval stamp on the flanks, instead
of the "keystone" we're more accustomed to. I have three varieties:
--> Saddle lousy, oval obliterated.
--> Saddle cover broken, oval clear.
--> New leather, by Tony Colegrave (in process). :-)
(Actually, that's just two saddles)
