Wayne,
     How early is early? I have an early 1970s TTT psot on my old Atala and it looks nothing like this post. The clamp section on my TTT actually resembles a modern Salsa seat post, despite predating the Salsa by nearly 35 years. Is yours (and this one) even older than that?
     The clamp section on Steven's seat post actually reminds me of an old Strong seatpost I have in a box somewhere. But (if IIRC) those have the manufacturer's name engraved on the shaft.
     Cheers,
     Fred Rednor - Arlington, Virginia
