I saw this strop on eBay, and was just a little curious regarding the metal chingus on the north end of the leathery-stroppy-thing (of which there appear to be two - note that it has two metal 'D'-ring finger-chingi at south end).

some of my thoughts were that this was a strop for some 'self stropping' safety razor (ala the old Auto-Strop or Wilkinson self stoppers), but I've never seen one of those so elaborate. Also, the leather looks awfully short.

Any ideas?
