    Cool! It's nice to have gear that's taken the journey with you.
    I hope you give that old strap some conditioner every so often ~
    I have an old strap I made in '72 that I still use regularly. Last year I finally had to trim one end and make a new hole as the old one wore out.
    I make my 50's a bit differently now and make the ends of the pad a bit rounded

    I used it for about a year at home back then and the felt is a little worn. It has been in that case since and I haven't touched it. I will get some leather conditioner and apply it. It might be something cool to give to one of my Grandsons if they decide to play. They will certainly have a great choice of guitars to play. LOL
