My father bought a strop for the same reason. Turns out it is a superior quality Japanese shell leather strop and I’ve been using it for many years. Send a photo of the strop showing it’s full length, any labels or markings and hardware. You never know.

Your backside probably didn't know how pampered it was! Imagine if it had been just a garden-variety cowhide strop.
