FS: Rare Hirsch open-ended black leather racing straps

HIRSCH OPEN-ENDED LEATHER RACING STRAPS

Here is a rare type of strap: Open-ended leather racing straps made by Hirsch, the quality strap maker. If you like the look of Heuer type leather straps with holes for your favorite fixed-lug watch, this might be the only time you see ones like this listed. These straps have the ends that glue together when you activate the fixative with something like nail polish remover.

Perforated type in 18mm size black leather smooth finish. Can come with your choice of steel, gold colored or black buckle, all original buckles on the straps.


These are unpadded straps stamped with the Hirsch “H” on the back.

Straps are New Old Stock, unused. Measure 7 3/4 inches placed end to end, with the open end flaps folded closed, including the buckle.

Price is $30 each plus $1.95 for U.S. shipping with tracking. Five available.

STYLE 2 – 20MM BIG HOLES (one available)

Big holes type in 20mm size black leather with a nice calf grain finish. Can come with your choice of steel or gold colored buckle.
