Thread: 280 shave mugs

Last week I met a man who inherited a very large collection of assorted antiques from his father. Apparently barber shop items were some of his favorites. He left behind over 500 straight razors, 300 mugs, dozens of brushes, strops etc. All of which were for sale.

Unfortunatly for me, 500 of the razors were sold before I had the chance to make an offer. However I was able to purchase a collection of about 280 antique shaving mugs, 12 straights, 12 brushes, 2 Rolls Razors and some odds and ends. Now, Im taking time to sort them out and research the different styles and makes.

If there are any mug experts in the crowd that would be willing to share some knowledge please send me a PM! Thanks!

Here's a drop in the bucket.
