Hi all, my first post on here (although I'm in the background all the time as Membership Secretary. I'm looking for information about Sunbeam saddles, specifically for my 1925 Model 6. I've been down this rabbit-hole with Paul Hutton who has been really helpful, but I'm wondering of anyone else knows more or different.
This first photo shows the saddle that came with my bike.

This looks very much like the saddles fitted to the Models 1-4 and 7 in the 1925 catalogue:

But it does NOT look like the saddle on the Models 5 and 6 in the 1925 catalogue:

Which in real life (a random photo off the web) is like this:

Now look at the last photo. Does anyone have a saddle like this on their Model 5 or 6? If so, does it have a maker's name? Is this a Lycett, a Brooks, a Leckie or what? And - a long shot I know - I don't suppose anyone has one of these saddles they would sell me or trade for the saddle in the first photo?
The question has now been answered, off the Forum, with huge thanks to Nick Shelley. The saddle in the last picture, as shown in the 1925 catalogue for the Models 5 and 6, is a Lycett. I now know what I am looking for! Anyone got one to sell or trade, condition immaterial?
