NOS genuine linen hose barber strops. Never used!

I've listed the only two New Old Stock genuine linen hose barber strops I have in my collection. Each in its own auction:

Ebay auction #: 131229125386

Ebay auction #: 131229134748

I have two others that I have not listed since they've been used and have diamond spray on them. I don't' know if there would be a demand for those since they are not in new condition so I have not yet decided if I'm going to list those. If I do I will post here.

Hose or horse?

I would have followed the links but my phone wants me to call the link... Sigh.

Go directly to ebay and type the #s into the search box. They are two auctions for strop linens from back when they were the heavier pro barber strop stuff. I don't think they are making that anymore ? What I find interesting is that they are identical, except for the "maker's" mark on the end. So they were probably made by a complany that printed various logos on the ends, depending on who they were marketing them to.

Correct. They are linen hose (not horse). I've always thought if someone could could legally recreate that "Certifyd" makers mark exactly as shown in entirety on a T-Shirt, I'd be the first in line to buy one. I love that slogan: "Will Beat 'Em All Like Certified Checks"

Sounds like there might be a market for that for an enterprising soul. Get 'em made up Chris, I need mine in large with a breast pocket.

Not my area of expertise, Jimmy, but I figured I wouldn't be the only one that would like a T-shirt with such a makers mark. If there was some way to reproduce it crisply in black on a white T? Sign me up! The: "Will Beat 'Em All Like Certified Checks" slogan harkens back to days when slogans were cool.

Super nice. LOVE the vintage linens, especially NOS.

Take a good picture of it and then take the picture to a T-shirt screen printing shop. See what they'd charge to make a run of 'em.

As good a deal as they are the shipping price to Australia takes it out of my reach.
Thanks for sharing these

ChrisL, thank you very, very much for the linen "Certifyd" strop. It arrived just a few minutes ago on the day you specified and is THE best packaging I have ever seen for strops. I am now 'retiring' the linen side to two old Russian shell strops I have and will be using Mr Certifyd exclusively.

That doesn't look bad at all - do you have higher resolution so that it doesn't pixelize in shirt size. I suppose It could be fine as it is as a small logo on the chest.

I have it on a number of strops too and can take high-resolution images, but I'm not very good at the post-processing to clean up the background texture.

It was a higher resolution but it got downsized when uploaded.

If you don't mind send it to me at xxxxx and I'll put it on a t-shirt in the srp store to see how it looks.

If and when available I'm in for a few. Shavers and non shavers on my list of 'Certifyd'.

If it ain't got a pocket .......... :td ........... if it does have a pocket ........ :y .......... YMMV ....... :shrug:

Thanks to GhostEdge for the high resolution image we now have it in the SRP store.
I don't see it yet listed among the other products, but the direct link seems to be working

Certifyd T-Shirt Tee Shirt from Zazzle.com

I selected to make it available on any type of their t-shirts, but I didn't see a pocketed one (may be I missed it).
You can pick the specific shirt in the style selector under the colors on the right. The default option is the one I'm getting - organic cotton and natural color since that's close to the strops.

I think I also want to create one with gold colored letters on dark brown background to match the leather strops with that label, but have to figure out the details so that the image background doesn't show up on the shirt.
