Meant to share this a while back after the auction closed but forgot. Pretty cool.

Killer price tag too 
expensive
Probably the same guy who was selling a mach3 500.00$, couples weeks ago. There is no way a mug can be worth this price, except if the previous owner was Caesar or Napoleon XD
Wow, I need to find one of those in a thrift store! There were 13 bids, so at least a couple of people thought it was worth the money.
Is that Will Ferrell greco-roman oil wrestling in The Ladies Man?

Obscure and offbeat "occupational" style mugs hit big numbers no doubt...
That is a very nice mug - thanks for posting.
For those who didn't know it mugs like this often shows the occupation of the owner. Each customer had his own mug (and brush) standing in the barbershop. Mugs like this allways go for high prices as there are a lot of collectors out there.

This mug last sold at a Myers Fine Art Americana auction in 2005 for $3750.
Actually, in 2005 the mug sold for $3,750 and from what I can see, there was an additional 18% buyers premium for a total of $4,425. I don't think the buyers premium was included in the hammer price reported.
One guy trying to stop another from brorape on a mug is worth 3k?
