Those shaving mugs are great. Thanks for sharing the photos. When I see them in an auction, I add them to my watch list but I always seem to other priorities.

For those who might not be familiar with the history of these:
The history of shaving mugs is really interesting (at least I think so). In the late 1800s up to 1920, barbers would sell customers a shaving mug. At the time, common thought was that sharing shaving soap led to shaving rash so everyone wanted their own shaving mug. Almost every man owned a shaving mug either at home or at his barber shop. The barbers would keep each customers shaving mug on a rack and they'd get your mug when you came in for a shave. If you moved to a new town, your barber would even arrange to have your shaving mug shipped to your new barber.

Because shaving mugs remained with a man for many years, they tended to be personalized with their family name and images of their occupation. Because some occupations were much more unusual in those days (like baseball), those mugs can attract premiums.
