The J.5 juvenile model appears on Brooks catalogs up to the 1950’s. Judging by the nose hardware, this one was from the 40’s or earlier.

As a saddle, I’m tempted to try it myself. It’s the same width as a B17 Standard, just a little shorter. And this frame is a little springier. Could be good, no?
