Description
This is a circa late 1940s Old Spice advertising shaving mug. The ceramic mug is by Hull Pottery and features the famous Old Spice three-masted ship logo with a banner reading SHIP FRIENDSHIP. Old Spice men's products, most famously their aftershave, have been around since 1937: items for women followed only one year later. The mug comes with a vintage bristle brush.
