Here's an update. I replace the reproduction hairpin saddle with a tooled leather British-made antique saddle, and the basket, which I'm hanging onto, was replaced by an early 1900s carbide lamp, also from the UK. About the only things left to do would be to find a set of skirt guard mounting brackets and a red rear carbide lamp, both are very hard to come by.
