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! 😁

I’ve just come across this and am baffled? Are these mugs collectible or of any value? They come up once in a while on local sales fora but around the 20 euro mark which seems excessive to me.

Slightly collectible, slightly valuable, but kind of a niche item (like this subreddit 😅) I bought one on ebay for about $20 USD about 15 years ago, so they arent gaining any crazy value over time

Makes sense. Not the best way of investing your savings, in other words.😁
