Excellent find! Mind sharing how you cleaned it? If it was mine I would hang the old leather up on the wall and replace it with a new strip of hide and use that stropper! Great score! Again, how did ya clean it up so nicely?

Again, how did ya clean it up so nicely? Hi Willy...Funny you should ask....I actually took a couple of pictures while I was cleaning it but didnt think anyone would be interested, so I left them out of the original post. Fairly simple cleaning process, First I soaked it in hot soapy water for 15 minutes to loosen up any crud And then a soaking of Scrubbin Bubbles foam... You can see the stuff that has come off the ER onto the paper towel... I then put it back into the soapy water and give it a good scrubbing with the nylon brush in the picture. After a good scrubbing I gave it a polish with Flitz and a microfiber cloth Thats pretty well how I clean all my razors..takes about a half hour I did give the strop a cleaning with leather cleaner and then conditioner..it came out better but I dont think I would strop a blade with it Before/After

Very interesting piece of vintage shaving memorabilia. And a great cleaning job too. Do you take in any razors for cleaning? ;D
