Hi everyone. I found this very rare & unusual item on eBay. Only about six of them are known to exist. It is a unique strop/hone. It is too bad the paper appears to have been crushed & re-straightened.

That thing has been on the bay for at least a year.
$2500 buys a lot of strops!
I miss things sometimes. I thought it was a very unique & interesting item.Quote:

Well, why would you make a contraption like that when you can just hang a piece of leather from a rope?
It's a clever device, but too complicated compared to the alternative.
Am I right in thinking the letter is signed 'Lucky'? If so, I think he has a very appropriate name.:gl:
@ $2495.00 USD, + shipping it isn't too interesting to me ....... I'll bet the seller is a frequent buyer of lottery tickets. ;)
I agree with you on that one Jimmy. He probably sits in his car scratching the scratch offs in the store parking lot....................Quote:

It's crazy what some people want for such an item & what they THINK they have which is the main reason I posted this........................
It would be a fun item for the shave den but that decimal point would have to move
I knew I should have tinted these windows! *scratch scratch scratch*
Who says that it didn't sell brand new for a "decent price?" I'm sure a W&B FBU originally sold for a "decent price."Quote:
