Remembering ornate shaving cups of the gay blades of the nineties
Mrs Rudolph Faltis displays a vast shaving cup collection revealing idiosyncrasies in craft, heraldry, and personal nicknames. Cups with family crests, lodges, or trades line her shelves, some with gold bands, perforated soap shelves, and odd shapes like fish and sleds. The collection, among antiques, sits alongside Westward Ho glassware as prized pieces. The Sun Shine Mission board meets Monday at 2:30 p.m.
