Charles Monroe's Odd Fellows Shaving Mug with Gold FLT Links antique emboidery within a few years theFrom what I understand, old shaving mugs like this would live on a shelf at a barber shop one for each regular, with his name on it, and painted imagery specific to him. The most valuable are those that bear elaborate hand painted iconography relating to the occupation of its owner, especially rarer ones: a baseball player, or a lawyer, or a coroner, say! This Odd Fellows shaving mug is not of that ilk, but I always love seeing the FLT links,
