Hi, this is Jennifer with City Farmhouse Antiques and I want to share with you today our find of the week.  I want to talk to you about antique shaving mugs. This is actually part of my grandfather’s collection and he collected a lot of different shaving mugs over the years.  There were a lot of different types, but if you are not familiar with shaving mugs they were used between the 1870’s and 1920’s when there were a lot of people migrating here to the United States from different countries.  There were a lot of new occupations starting and so many new things starting here in America.  If you think back to what life was like during that time period it wasn’t near as easy for men to shave as it is now.  Of course, there were no electrical razors and lighting was poor and you actually had to boil your own water.  There was not hot water out of the tap like we take for granted today.  They would have to boil their water on a wooden stove and come back and pour water, this is a scuttle mug, into this area here where they could dip their brush and then of course they could shave.  If you had 10 cents to go to the barber, the barber had hot towels, and would do it all for you and thus these mugs became really popular.  The barbers, thinking outside the box, thought wouldn’t it be great if people could have their own mugs? You start to see antique shaving mugs going from these scuttle mugs (which have this design which holds the soap in the top and you dip your brush in here in the hot water and then of course you would use the soap to foam up and then shave) to mugs that have names on them. Barbers would sell men a mug and keep it there at the barber shop. Men had started developing rashes from infections from the razors, but they thought it was from sharing soap. They thought this would make it better to have their own mug. So men would have their own mug and that is where you see them commonly with different names and they would keep coming back for their shave so their barber would continue to make money and they would have their own mug.  Metal mugs were made, this one has a brush rest to keep a brush on and keep the hot water in there.  You can see mugs that were hand painted like this one.  This one was hand painted.  You can see they have nicks and damage, they were used.  There were also mugs with cars, different designs and styles.  These were considered decorative mugs and they had flowers and different things on them decorative.  Here you can see on this one a little bit of crazing.  Where you see a little crackling appearance giving you an idea of age. It is an older piece.  Antique shaving mugs are very collectible. People like to collect them because they are colorful.  Here is an example of another one with a car the size and shape of a coffee mug.  Some were even made out of wood.  Here is a different one.  The most collectible of the shaving mugs are what we call the occupational mugs.  Because we had so many occupations starting at that time…I don’t have one to show you…but the closest example would be this one.  It would be something as simple as a butcher or horse farrier.  Those mugs are very sought after today and very collectible and valuable and can be worth into the thousands of dollars.  Depending on what kind of mugs you want to collect this can be an inexpensive hobby to something that’s more upscale if you were to collect occupational mugs which are really fun too.  A lot of collectors keep them in cases or stands you can put up on the wall that hold several mugs like they used to be stored in the barber shop. There were also advertising mugs for Old Spice and different companies back then that are very collectable.  There were also character mugs.  Men like to collect a lot of these mugs because they can be very masculine with deer and different hunting scenes. So there are all types of antique shaving mugs on our website.  Check out our collection at www.cityfarmhouseantiques.com where we have other antiques, collectibles, and home décor items.

Snagged a deal
Size: 7, Color: Redwood/Gum 10
I waited and waited to get these boots! I knew I was chancing it, but they went on sale, and I snagged them! I am a size 7, and they fit nicely with socks. a little loose, barefooted, but what psycho wears boots without socks? They are comfortable and really well-made.

Cute, comfortable waterproof boots (a little snug to put on)
Size: 7, Color: Velvet Tan/Gum 2
These are really cute Chelsea-style boots and feel very comfortable once they’re on. The waterproof material is great for wet weather and the sole feels sturdy with good traction. They look stylish enough to wear casually but still feel practical for rainy days. The only downside is they can be a little difficult to put on at first because the opening is somewhat snug, but once they’re on they fit well and feel supportive. Overall they’re a great waterproof boot and I’ve enjoyed wearing them.

Surprisingly great for my wide feet and high instep!
Size: 10.5, Color: Velvet Tan/Gum 2
So thrilled I took a chance on these. Finding boots is impossible for me. I have wide feet, a super high instep, a bunion on one foot, and I wear a hard to find size (10.5). I ordered the 10.5 and 11 in these expecting I might need to size up for width (if I could even get them on). It was a struggle getting the 10.5s on the first time, and once I did they were somewhat uncomfortable on the top of my left foot. But I read that they would relax so decided to give it a go because I need waterproof boots for an upcoming trip and the 11s felt too long. After two days of light wear, they are already breaking in and I have no more discomfort. Getting them on is already easier and they are plenty wide enough and very comfortable to walk in. These are true to size. Super happy and worth a day of mild discomfort to break them in!

Comfortable, sturdy, waterproof
Size: 9.5, Color: Black/Black
Loce, love, love these boots. Have walked ten miles with no foot pain around NYC. They go with everything and and are so comfortable. As they are waterproof/resistant, they get a little warm in high temps, but perfect three-season boots.

Super cute, comfortable, practical, love that they are slip on
Size: 10.5, Color: Tobacco/Black
I have worn these 2-3 times already. The first day was a school/work day so I was on my feet 9 hours and the only issue I had was with the side of the boot rubbing against my ankle. I just make sure I wear socks high enough to cover my ankles or jeans that go into the boots now for long wear days. Absolutely love them! They keep my feet dry in this snow( we live in Michigan). I had been looking for a pair like this for awhile now and was getting super frustrated that I couldn't find my size in any that I liked. I saw that they had these available in a 10.5 and I wear 11. I looked at the Sorel website reviews (since the amazon ones weren't super helpful on sizing) and they said that the boots ran big so I took a chance on the 10.5 fitting me. They fit perfect. I have long narrow feet but I could see where they would be tight or uncomfortable on someone with wider feet. I've been trying to find a pair for my mom now since she has boot envy.
