    Default Found This Very Rare Item On Ebay

    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.

    $2500 buys a lot of strops!

    I miss things sometimes. I thought it was a very unique & interesting item.

    Splashone, I agree, it'll buy a lot of strops. I wouldn't buy it but I don't guess it was a good idea or someone might have strted producing something like that for a decent price!!!! I just found it interesting.

    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.

    My service is good, fast and cheap. Select any two and discount the third.

    @ $2495.00 USD, + shipping it isn't too interesting to me ....... I'll bet the seller is a frequent buyer of lottery tickets.

    Be careful how you treat people on your way up, you may meet them again on your way back down.

    I agree with you on that one Jimmy. He probably sits in his car scratching the scratch offs in the store parking lot....................
