Thread: Antique Strop?

I picked this up in a box of antiques, is this a strop? not sure what the paper is for

No. Not a strop.

I would like to see pictures of the back of the wallet/purse.

I think it might be a portable strop with a place to take notes about your shaves????

Just having fun. When you find out let us know!

First of all welcome to SRP. Maybe post an introduction in the new member thread and tell us about yourself.

On the wall hanging: that's what I believe that is; a hanging notepad shaped like a strop. In the shaving world we have an abbreviation for things that look like razors but are not functioning razors, RSO: Razor Shaped Object. What I think you have is an SSO: Strop Shaped Object.

I think it is a craft product for straight razor "enthusiasts."

Id have to go with Paul on this one. Decoration. A place for shaving notes. Fun. An item to hang in the shave den

Thanks for the info.
I buy a lot of stuff at yard sales and estate sales, this was the perfect place to get some help.
I appreciate all the comments
