Subject: [CR]Ideale leather saddle question

I'm new to this site, so thought I'd ask a question and maybe gain some knowledge. I have an old Motobecane with an Ideale Model 80 leather saddle. It had kind of dried out some over time and has tiny cracks on the surface. I have been rubbing it with baseball glove oil and neatsfoot oil to try to "bring it back" a bit. Anyone got any other good ideas for how to preserve this nice old saddle?
