Here are some pics. I've seen worn strops before, many times, and this one doesn't fit the bill, but someone correct me if I'm wrong. Does anyone have one of these DD Strops with an almost like glass consistency to it.
The other strop is also restored vintage. I've lightly sanded it, and applied a few coats of neetsfoot oil. It has excellent drag...
