This shaving mug came with the purchase of a Rubberset 400-4 this afternoon in Loveland, CO. It's not the first one I've seen in the wild, but I've never seen them mentioned on the forum and an interweb search has turned up very little - a couple of sold Etsy listings, and only a couple more ebay listings when looking back 10 years. Seems kinda rare/scarce.
The darn thing is hefty - 3.675 inches tall, 4.25 inches in diameter at the lip, and weighing in at 1lb 3oz!
Stamped on the bottom, which is hard to see in the photo, it says:
"FLINN'S KLINGTITE NONBREAKABLE SHAVING MUG" in an arc across the top of the circle,
"F. A. F. MFG. CO." in a smaller arc in the center,
"OMAHA, NEBR" straight across the bottom, so I suspect it is older than the Post Office's 2-letter state abbreviations,
"NO. 5" below Omaha,
"For No. 4 & 5 BRUSH" below that,
"PAT. PENDING" in an arc across the bottom of the circle.
Any clues about this mug?
