Rare Gorham Sterling Silver Shaving Mug For the Man Who Has Everything

Sept. 7, 2010 - PRLog -- The sterling silver mug was made by Gorham Mfg. Co. of Providence, RI in 1901 and was retailed by Black, Starr & Frost. This mug is a prime example of the art of shaving from a bygone era. The mug is fully hallmarked with Gorham’s maker’s mark, Sterling, date mark for 1901, and pattern #A2587M on the underside of the base. The cup is enhanced by a sinuous scrolling handle and is decorated with repousse scrolling motifs all around the lower section of the body and spout. This piece is a shaving collector’s dream come true and is in Excellent Condition.
