None of my relatives or forbears were saddlers or leather workers but I have just received a picture of an Old Phillips race bicycle from the 1940s. It is all rusty and has a square section drop bar stem. On the frame is this nice old leather saddle..and guess what; It is made by WILBY of Birmingham.
In the process of trying to trace the seat origins or roots I came to this site...I cannot attach the picture from the PC where I am . It is a WILBY No 28 in tan leather with a steel frame and three compression springs.c 1947
