Description
From the sellerOffered here is a vintage leather Wester Brothers anchor brand barber double strop. It seems to have a lot of wear left in it. I am not sure where it was made. At the bottom of the strap it says Silk Doge Grain imported shell number 410. In trying to look this up, I see that some of these strops were made in Germany and imported here and sold in New York by the Wester Brothers company. Please see the photos for condition. Because of its age and use some of the printing on the strops are hard to read. Wester bros were in business from early 1900’s to 1967.
