Thread: Grandfather's Shaving Mug

My father just found my grandfather's shaving mug. I did a little research and it's apparently from the late '50s to 1960. I'll be using it for the first time tonight. Just thought I'd share

Nice to use items handed down from your family! Nice Mug.

The mug pictured was my great gandfather's. It was given to him by his son-in-law, my grandfather. My grandfather was a barber in Caribou, Maine in the early 1900's. The mug is a real treasure to me. I have used it but don't anymore. I'm afraid I might break it. Enjoy yours
The other photo is some of my collection.

Thats pretty cool, for some reason I just love old spice stuff

Very Nice,just ran into a fellow that lives down the road,an ex barber,showed me his mug collection,some of those old Mugs can be worth thousands of bux.

I love that lower left corner of your display. Very sharp way to display them. It's all nice of course. But I really like the way you put the razors in there.

That Old Spice glass mug brings back memories of shaving in my youth. That was early 1960's, I think. The design was very stable, and Old Spice made a gazillion of them. For all I know, they're _still_ making them.

There's no collector's value, but there _is_ karma attached. Use it in good health!

Nice one, I too have an Old Spice mug amongst others due to remembering my dad having one. Unlike yours mine was bought off ebay, nice to see one with sentimental value, enjoy using it!

I use it every morning, except when I'm traveling.




My Granddad got the shaving mug for his confirmation about 1910 or so. He used it for shaving all his life. I still remember him using it when I was a young boy. When he died in the 1970ies, I inherited it from him. It is made in Norway by Porsgrund porselen.
