Japanese made “Speedic” Leather Saddle
This Semi-Vintage Japanese made Speedic brand Leather Saddle is very unique. Needs some restoration in the way of mink oil and saddle soap before it gets used. A thick leather top and a layer of a man made material on the underside were riveted to the rails of the seat. This might go up on [...]
