Thanks. After hearing the responses here, I definitely lucked out! I'm quite the SR neophyte and have little understanding of how much these things should go for, and i was bidding more with the idea that each, if new, would most likely sell for about $40-50 each.

Will use the neatsfoot oil very sparingly.

Sweet !!

Is the hardware nickel or chrome?

It appears to be chrome from pic #6 where you can see a small amount of chrome loss where the hardware meets the leather.

It appears you forgot to purchase this to go along with the strop - according to the listing - this is a must for a vintage razor strop:

For $23.00 no less,,,,,,,,

Lol, I think I may have one out in the junque drawer out in my garage!!

At that price if I find it it's going on the Bay!!

Well - you better hurry, only two left!!!!

I was also thinking that $15.00 (price stamped on the Silver King Shell) must have been a lot of money for any strop back then!
