Guitar/Banjo #2252 (Left Handed Strap)

Slightly curved to cross the right shoulder of a left handed player, this shoulder piece was previously part of a very nice horse harness. And I doubt the horse was herding cattle. Beautifully hand-tooled by the original and exceptional craftsman, the Flowering Vine pattern is well done and the fine details are still sharp and clear. Close-up photos sent on request.

Shoulder Piece Size 14" long by 2 1/8" wide where it will cross your shoulder, tapering to 1 3/8” on the back end. Hand shaped ends and fully dressed and burnished edges.
Shoulder Piece Leather I’m not sure if this is tooling leather or harness leather but it’s very soft and supple.
Shoulder Piece Stitching Artificial sinew, hand stitched into the original needle holes.
Shoulder Piece Distressed Level Medium/low.
Shoulder Piece Notables The slightly curved shape would work equally well for either a headstock or heel button attachment. Since the shoulder piece doesn’t slide on the strap to adjust position I’ll also need an additional measurement to properly locate it for you. Lined with new suede leather on the bottom.
