Well ladies I'm giving y'all a break from my Hall's Collection, OHHH NOOOOO, I've not run out of Hall's to show, but I thought to myself, "self don't you think these ladies would like to see something else besides Hall's" and self said "why?, who gets tired of looking at Hall's" and I said "me". End of conversation. Self is off pouting somewhere. So I get to show what I want too. I'd like to show you another little item I picked up at Wool Worth all those 47 yrs ago when I worked there. It's a mustache mug. Now don't ask me why I bought this, my DH didn't have a mustache, never did and never will. Even though I think a man with a beard is kinda sexy. He can't stand them itchie things, sigh, so he wouldn't grow one....not even for me. Well I just admire them from afar...lol.
I thought it was kinda cute, so I have had it on display in the bath room ever since I brought it home. DH just looked at it and said forget it. Now it's just a collectors item .
I also purchased this shaving mug at the same time, but he used the arosal type shave cream and never used the brush type, so another collectors item.
I HOPE YOU ENJOYED MY VINTAGE THINGIES! SEE YOU NEXT WEEK! FOR MORE WONDERFUL VINTAGE THINGIES VISIT COLORADO LADY!
Haven't seen a mustache mug in a long time .... so fun!

I'm so glad you posted this! It's so cute. Last week Beverly posted a shaving mug that she had thought was a moustache mug, and now I can see the difference.
ReplyDeleteThose are neat items!
ReplyDeleteI miss Woolworth's. We actually had two "dime" stores, as we called them, in the town I grew up in.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great stache mug! It makes me smile! ~Kelly

I like the shaving mug, it's really unique.
ReplyDeleteThis is something I have not seen before.
ReplyDeleteAmazing how time changes the way we do
things in our daily lives.
Very neat! Enjoyed your VTT today!
I love them both and I really miss those "dime" stores. They always had the best things.. Happy VTT..have a wonderful weekend.
ReplyDeleteWoolsworth was the best. Love the mustache mug. I was amazed at how much shaving mugs went for at an auction. Big collector's items.
ReplyDeleteLove the mustache mug. I saw some of these on a website not too long ago, and they were well out of my budget! Have a great week.
ReplyDeleteLove the mustache mug and the shaving mug and brush! My DH may have the beard but you have the goodies!
ReplyDeletei got the chuckles reading your post..what fun!!..love those old shaving mugs :)
ReplyDeleteI like them both and think that I would have brought them home too! Thanks for sharing. Happy Vintage Thingy Thursday. Here's mine: http://smilingsally.blogspot.com/2009/03/grandpas-needle-and-safety-pin.html
ReplyDeleteCute cup and shaving mug, Molly. I loved our Woolworth dime store. It must have been fun working there.
ReplyDeleteHow cute. It's amazing you've had them that long.
ReplyDeleteI have always loved these shaving cups...I don't have one, tho..Yours are really nice.

The shaving mug is quite unique - what a clever way to store the soap cake. My dad used to have one of the original Old Spice shaving mugs - wish someone had saved it!
ReplyDelete(Oh, by the way, in the second paragraph you typed "Even though a man with a bread is kinda sexy." . . . might wanna change that, lol!)
I love these! My dad actually used these kind and I remember standing in the bathroom doorway watching him lather up and shave :0). I always liked how fresh his "soap" smelled.
ReplyDeleteThose are really cool!
ReplyDeleteI remember the "dime" stores and the shaving and mustache cups...guess that shows my age! My hubby is one of those with the beard and mustache (very neatly trimmed I might add) and I probably wouldn't recognize him without them!!
ReplyDeleteWhat fun accesories! Love to see them! Thanks for sharing. Paula from Idaho
ReplyDeleteCome on tell yer hubby that now that there is a Recession, all the guys are growing mustaches again!!! They are saving money on razors and looking good all at the same time!!! That is such a cute mug, love the "shoes."
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting my blog...
ReplyDeleteHere is a very simple recipe for the potato/peanut butter candy.
POTATO - PEANUT BUTTER CANDY
1 lg. potato, cooked & peeled
Confectioners' sugar
Peanut butter
Mash potato with sugar, may take 1 pound or more. Mix until stiff. Sprinkle confectioners' sugar on board. Roll out like dough. Spread with peanut butter. Roll up like jelly roll. Cut in slices.
WoW, what a collection. those are too cute. Haven't seen one of those for a LONG TIME. Thanks for sharing,
ReplyDeleteI love the shaving stuff! It's sooo cool looking!
ReplyDeleteLove, Joy
Your welcome...I have that this candy many times as a child, too! I hope it tastes as you remember...!!

ReplyDeleteWhat a cute mug! I also thought DH would like the old time shaving mug and brush and was shocked when he called it "decorations" as well.
ReplyDeleteOh well. We still got what we wanted in a way!
Dime stores...talk about nostalgia! Love the mustache mug...one day maybe it will hold some teeth...LOL. The shaving cup is classic. Cute post. Note to self...share. Thanks for stoppoing by!
