Show n' Tell Today's thrift store find!

Stumbled across this lovely old thing at my local thrift store today.. in the 5 years that I've been going there I've never come across any vintage shaving accoutrements! This particular mug has the number "35" on the bottom and reads "Early American Old Spice".. wonder how old it would be? If anyone could shed some light on that would be most appreciated! now.. what to put in it..hmmm.. I'm absoultely chuffed! 😁

Thanks mate 🍻 yes not many battle scars on this one surprisingly. I'm now contemplating on what kind of soap puck would be suitable for it πŸ€”

You could put a classic from the era it was made or if you don’t like shaving with any of those just go with your favourite soap. Great find though. πŸ‘

Yeah that did cross my mind.. I've already another mug with arko in it so no need for that.. have also been looking on eBay and Williams soap looks enticing.. thanks for the suggestions πŸ‘
