I've found several vintage strops where the outside is all nicked and cut and the inside (with the impressed logo and name) virtually untouched. They weren't pasted or anything so I just flipped and they were perfect!
Was/is there a reason I find strops this way? With what I would assume was the outside surface turn inside next to the linen.
Me thinks the side you flipped to was never used:)
Pretty much!!
$4.50 for one and $2 for the other!!! Moral of the story, check ALL sides of strops when you find them in antique stores
Top, inside hidden side.......bottom, outsideQuote:

'Cause guys like me owned them. :) They still run screaming when I enter a room.
