Thread: My great grandfather's shaving mirror

Here are a couple of pics of my great grandfather's shaving mirror. It is made from a casket lid and the antlers of a deer killed locally. As near as I can tell it was made in the 1880's or 1890's. He kept it on the bac porch and would fill a bowel with water to shave with. He kept his razor in the tray and hung a towel on the antlers. I'm waiting to get his razor restored. Its a Finney Tally Ho wedge that looks more like a meat cleaver that a shaving implement, but from the stories I've heard he probally would have shaved with a cleaver too.
