Baseball Player Shaving Mug

This new skuttle shaving mug is decorated with an early baseball player, baseballs and glove. It is white ironstone with metallic decoration. This new mug has a single drain hole in the top where the soap rests; old mugs have multiple drain holes. This example was found in a Texas department store by R. Blake Powell (author of Antique Shaving Mugs of the US and Occupational Shavings Mugs of the US).
