| c.1943 Persons Saddle Undercarriage (Available during WWII) |
|---|
|
| AVAILABLE FOR SALE, I HAVE DUPLICATES! I have a wood crate of 16 of these Persons Saddle Undercarriages. During the WWII some bicycle parts were very difficult (or impossible) to obtain. My parents told me stories about receiving bicycles from distributors and/or factories without chains, pedals, seats, tires, etc. There would be a note in the box with the bike explaining the shortage due to the war effort. Because of the shortage of bikes, retailers never made any complaints about the missing components (they were thrilled to obtain any bikes). This is the genuine Persons seat undercarriage for the large pan seats. To completely restore an `original` seat you simply add the pan (plate) and clamp assembly together with the foam pad and fabric upholstery. The overall length of the undercarriage is 10 inches. The distance between the two springs is 6 1/8 inches (measured center to center). The distance, outside of one spring to outside of the other spring, is 7 3/4 inches.| Picture Gallery for this Item (click images to enlarge) |

A copy of the string tag that is attached to the undercarriage. The text on this hang tag is the same as the text stencil printed on the outside of the wood crate. The METHOD III may have had something to do with the government approval for Persons Majestic to produce these undercarriages which appear to be painted the flat army dark green color. The PKD SRA 1/56 appears to me to mean the wood cases were packed in 1956; if my guess is correct then these undercarriages were produced for war time bikes but never used (maybe because the war ended). |

This is one of the wood cases that was packed by Persons Majestic Co; it contained 16 of the undercarriages. The stencil printing on one side of the wood crate is the same text that is printed on the string tags; one string tag is attached to each undercarriage. The METHOD III may have had something to do with the government approval for Persons Majestic to produce these undercarriages which appear to be painted the flat army dark green color. The wood case is also stenciled with INSP-6 AND SNL-G. The INSP-6 most likely had something to do with the Inspector. The PKD SRA 1/56 appears to me to mean the wood cases were packed in 1956; if my guess is correct then these undercarriages were produced for war time bikes but never used (maybe because the war ended). The dimensions of the case are 34 3/4 x 15 x 8 1/2 inches.
