Thread: Razor roll question

I got this nifty vintage leather razor roll included with an auction I won a couple of weeks back. It cleaned up OK, and after some mink oiling, it seems like it'll be quite usable.

Problem is, I'm not quite sure how it's supposed to fasten. I'm thinking I'm missing a piece of the roll. Can anyone explain how it's supposed to work?

There are two flaps, which you can see best in the photo that includes my hand.

Suggestions would be much appreciated. I've been wanting something like this for a long time.
