Can anyone tell me anything about this strop?

Hey all,

Could any of you shed any light on this particular Strop? It doesn't appear to have any company name, below the clasp on the front it says 'Genuine Horse Shell" and the opposite end has "Finish." The back (sharpening portion) just says Sharpen. On the inside it has a Made in the U.S.A. stamp.

It seems to be in decent shape, and appears to have some age to it. I stumbled upon this I'm not certain if this thing is worth anything to anyone or not, but found this forum and figured perhaps someone could help me. Any info would be appreciated! Thanks!

thats pretty nice. shell is a coveted strop material generally. Unbranded Vintage strops in that condition aren't worth nearlt as much as the NOS branded ones though so don't get your hopes too far up .

Excellent, thank you both for the input! Any rough guesses on a fair price?
