The crank only turns in one direction, I think it may have had a leather piece attached to each side at one time, but I am not sure? I bet you don't have anything like this in your Straight Razor Collection? I NEVER MAKE "2 ND CHANCE OFFERS" on my items, I always relist them! So if you get an email for a "2 ND CHANCE OFFER", it is a SCAM and don't reply to it! NO International bids without prior approval !!!!!
