Is this the rarest Old Spice Shaving Mug?
This mug is made by Wade Pottery in England and shows a ship on one side and an Old Spice inscription on the other and comes with a porcelain cover. Based on the Wade Pottery mark, this mug dates between 1969 and 1984.
Within my collection I house this extremely rare Old Spice Shaving Mug and my research thus far indicates that it is the most rare of all Old Spice shaving mugs. I have only seen one of these Special Edition Mugs before and it was without its lid and had no soap within. Further, it did not have the Special Edition numbered paper sticker on it's base, which revealed a blue printed Wade Pottery mark underneath. Checking on the Old Spice history list at www.CR8ON.com reveals that this mug is valued around $285.00 and marked RARE. It further states that it is porcelain and dates between 1969 and 1984 and made in England.
Now I have no idea of when the value above was placed on their website or even if they bother to update it and assume that it refers to one that is complete and in mint condition.
The Old Spice soap within has a fragrance that is much more concentrated than the normal Old Spice cake. That is, the smell is much more acute and very pleasing.
So I thought by showing it here others would be able to appreciate its beauty and that it might reveal another from a dedicated Old Spice collector.
Written on one side of the mug;
On the other side is written;
And written in the middle is;
Written on the label underneath the base is;
These measurements do not include the handle.
The porcelain lid is indented across its entire width to accommodate the resting of a brush.
ENJOY.
