I have this tape set aside for who knows what, it hasn't fit any recent build aesthetics, but am curious who might have made it. No markings, has a seam around the middle of each roll. I guess there aren't that many choices, but I picked it up from a shop that had it in the "clearance bin" in a ziploc bag and couldn't ID it either.

Handlebra potentially? Based on the store link below, the grain looks about the same and looks to have skived edges on the backside like in your pic (a little hard to tell from their angled shot though). Pretty unique bartape without any perforations or stitchings so there's probably only a handful (if that) of makers it could be.

Why can't I ever find stuff like this in a clearance bin. Good score.

I'll agree with HandleBra. Here's a pic I just took of a HandleBra remnant I have. Same skived edges.

My guess is HandleBra as well. Fine Cigar color or Dark Brown.

I thought it might be handlebra, as I didnt know of any other leather tape that looked similar. Looked on the HB website and I would guess it's the fine cigar color. Just gotta wait for the right build to use it now. Thought about it on my new to me Merckx, but to my eye that one needed white tape.
