Can anyone identify the maker of this strop?
I was on the bay looking at completed auctions for strops to get an idea for how much they're selling for. I saw a nice looking strop, but can't identify it. Here's a link to the auction:
2 LEATHER ,BARBER ,KNIFE SHARPINING STROPS,TAKE A LOOK - eBay (item 170323704686 end time Apr-27-09 17:35:49 PDT)
Just curious to know who the maker is. I like the look of it, but I don't see any identifying marks other than the horse head, but I'm guessing that the symbol just means horsehide.
At first glance I thought it was a Tony Miller based on the thong & bead hanger and other hardware, but it doesn't have his logo at the top. I would have placed a bid if I would have noticed sooner.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
