Vintage shell strops and couple of horse hide

There are several models of the Red Imps. Some are Horse and some are not. The same with the DDs. Some are very nice thick pieces and some are thin basic ho hum strops.

Mine is a 700 with no letters.

As I recall the letters denote...I don't know what. Jimmy used to be the expert on those.

Interesting! Could we get a few shots of yours?

I have wondered what the difference between the two as well(700 and 700c). I have seen a red imp that did not have cyrtified but a Los Angeles barber supply stamp instead. Does anybody know anything about that. Could be they custom ordered them for extra advertising, but I am not sure.

I have seen several with the Red Imp logo on top and a barber's supply stamped on bottom.
Just like razors..Stamped for the seller.

I thought so just was not sure. I have seen only three of those, two from L.A. and the other one slips my mind but I do remember it was not L.A. and not certyfied. Thanks sharptonn!

I have two Red Imps. One is a 700 and the other a 700C. Both are wonderful strops. The only difference is that the 700 has a faster draw than its cousin, the 700C. The 700C is in better shape and may have been a NOS. Both strops are Certifyd.

Is there a color difference between the two?

I am wondering about thickness of each?
