Cinelli Unicanitor MOD 50 Uncovered Plastic Saddle: 1960's - No Cinelli Logo - RARE (Near Mint Low Miles)

Before the legendary Cinelli Unica-Nitor saddle was released in the 1960's, all saddles were either Brooks style solid leather, or plastic junk.  The Unicantor was the first to have a plastic shell, (some) covered with a bit of padding and leather.  It's the basic premise most modern saddles are based on!  One of the most influential bicycle components of the 20th century.

This is the first version aside from the 1950's / very early 60's one with Unica and Nitor on either side.  It's uncovered plastic, only has the 3 large holes down the center (the MOD 55 added a bunch of small holes near the rear).  There is no molded Cinelli oval logo (which seems to have come in the early 1970's?), its likely this one had either the early waterslide decal on the underside, or possibly foil decals but removed.  It does not say "Cinelli on the saddle top, further distinguishing it from the later 1980's models.  

Condition

Near mint condition with low miles!  No corner scrapes.  Rails are very clean.  There's some very light scuffing on top of the saddle at rear and around the three holes. Some light cosmetic where elsewhere. Show bike worthy for most
