I've had my eye on this for eons and when I was able to visit my mom for the first time in a while she said I could take this home. My great grandfathers shaving mug from his time in the Spanish American War! It now sits proudly on a shelf in the bathroom.

Most excellent! I hope you use it (carefully) at least once.

Very nice. Love the shade of blue colouring. Nice to own family heirlooms and use them from time to time.

Great mug.

I can't see it well either, but I'm guessing each soldier's mug had their name on it?

Awesome gift! How cool would it be to have it filled with the same soap he used all those years ago!

Fantastic!
Family heirlooms are unobtanium for some of us, I'm glad you get to treasure the memory!
