    Talking Strop style that went extinct? Funny old thing

    Seller does say it is very small. He's not lying. I'm guessing it might have been nicked rather severely on several instances, and owner did not want to toss it. Anyways, I am guessing x patterns is the way to go here

    vintage strop

    Don't you all go bidding now, I don't want the price to sky rocket before I snipe at the last moment

    Str8fencer, that thing is all yours. I know if I put it to use- guaranteed razor damage. The Coochie Strop.

    If It sells well, I have a trashed strop that could earn me a buck.

    the price plus shipping is a bit high for the fittings
    that would work well with leather from the likes of
    Tandy if and only if the fittings are sound.

    I'd start with 20 laps on linen then about 50,000 laps on that strop. Keep ice and Ibuprofen handy!

    He deserves an A+ for ingenuity and salesmanship. Just take a cut up strop and turn it into a conversation piece and sell it on Eboy.

    When you're not using it as a strop, it can be used as a neck tie.
