Here are a couple strops I found at a local antique store today
I have a Certifyd, but mine is far more vintage looking, it must be nice to have one still in the wrapper, a great strop!
+1, I've got the one on the left in nice shape and it is a fine strop. Same outfit that made the Red Imp. Another fine one. You got a nice haul there.
I hear Russian made strips r made great and the textured backs work well

Congrats on a great find. Local finds are just GREAT!!
You must have been pretty excited when you saw that was still wrapped! Nice finds!
The " Russian Leather" refers to the tanning process and is not the origin of the product. Sorry.Quote:

Congratulations! The leather looks brand new after all these years. I like my Red Imp strop with the Certifyd markings, but it is nowhere as great looking as your finds.
With all of the antiquing we do we have found strops in any condition very hard to find. This was an excellent score!!
Man o man, I’ve never come across anything like this when I search the antique stores. When’s my time gonna come? :cry: I am whining now, but I see you guys showing vintage Razors and Eschers and hones and all kinds of stuff you found antiquing. I dig around too looking in old boxes on shelves in the back of the store. All I get is bit by a brown recluse spider. Oh well someday. Now that I know what to look for, sort of. Thanks for showing.
The Illinois vintage strop looks amazing...you can see the quality on it...unlike today's Illinois :mad:
Good eyes :)
