Thread: 280 shave mugs

Those mugs should make a pretty impressive display in your shop.

It's too bad someone got the 500 straight razor's before you did!!!! : (

I'm with ya on that one. I think I slowly better start going through them & describe them with any information about them. I sure don't want them to be sold off for little or nothing when my time comes!!!!

There is an association of shaving mug collectors. If you don't want to keep all 280, you might be able to contact them and sell some off to one of the collectors.

Barber Shop Memorabilia

Man, I would love to know what 500 straight razors that one buyer got and what he paid on average. What you got look nice so I can't see why the buyer would leave those behind.

My father left us some things he had collected over the years and my wife made sure we made notes as he described them to us. Many of the things were cool but especially so to family if the details are known. The box fell off a shelf and the notes etc got mixed up.....

Rocks that he had collected on vacation at this local etc. Some of it we can save/coordinate but I better do it before I die.
