Old Spice 'Ship Recovery' Milk Glass Shaving Mug

This is a vintage shaving mug made of ivory-colored milk glass (often referred to as 'opaque' or 'white glass'), specifically manufactured for the Old Spice brand by Shulton. The item features a cylindrical body with a flat base and a small, integrated D-shaped handle positioned on the right side. The front of the mug is decorated with a detailed blue graphic transfer of a sailing vessel, identified by the red cursive text underneath as the 'Ship Recovery - Salem - 1794'. This motif refers to a famous historic American merchant ship. The glass has a smooth, glossy finish typical of mid-20th-century mass-produced toiletries. This specific style of mug was commonly produced between the 1940s and early 1960s. The construction is robust, intended for daily use with a shaving brush and soap puck. Visible in the image are signs of light wear along the rim and some minor scuffing on the graphic, but no significant cracks or chips are apparent. The ivory tint of the glass suggests it is an earlier model, as later versions often used a brighter white glass. The interior appears to contain a blue-handled shaving brush, which is consistent with the item's utilitarian purpose. Overall, it is a well-preserved example of mid-century American grooming memorabilia.
