CIVIL WAR ERA TINNED IRON SHAVING MUG

$65.00 ON HOLD

Quantity Available: 1

Item Code: 2024-1242

Measuring 4 3/8” tall and 3” in diameter, this shaving mug is made of thin, tin-coated sheet iron with rolled top edge, doubled handle edges, with the side compartment or scuttle, some say for the razor, but more likely for a brush, and the handle soldered in place. These were not issue pieces, of course, but this is typical of the inexpensive lightweight commercial versions of the period that might be attractive to a traveler or soldier. The metal is dark gray, with the solder showing a bit lighter. This has various rubs, shows some brown in places from the underlying iron, and various stains, but no holes and just one narrow dent low down on one side. This would make a good addition to a display of personal items. Lather up!  [sr][PH:L]
