This strop looks like it has a common problem for old strops. That is, it was folded in half and it might be quite difficult to get it completely straight. That is not to say that it cannot be straightened, but it will take some effort.

Great looking strop! I'd buy it myself if it weren't for the "CONUS / no echecks" thing.

One of these days in your travels, a guy is going to show you a brand-new deck of cards on which the seal is not yet broken. Then this guy is going to offer to bet you that he can make the jack of spades jump out of this brand-new deck of cards and squirt cider in your ear. But, son, do not accept this bet, because as sure as you stand there, you're going to wind up with an ear full of cider.
