Type: Home-Single Country: USA Patent: This particular type of Single Compartment shaving mug was patented in 1910. The original, and other types of Single Compartment shaving mugs were not patented, so far as I have been able to determine. Comment: This mug, #278, was, presumably, part of a series. As such, it is somewhat rare. It is a welcome and wonderful part of the collection. Source: Les Oliver Editors:
