Description
An amazing well used American folk art hand carved shaving mug and mirror dated 1874 measuring approximately 2 1/8 x 2 7/8 inches. The top reads, "Jacob Blume Ten 12 June 1874." Ten may stand for Tennessee. The crack measures approximately 3/32 inches at its widest and is a result of age and very stable with what appears to be all existing wood. A very high quality and light wood. Notice the attention to detail and the small carving tool used for the interior. Last originating in north central IL and possibly by a Tennessee native who moved to Indiana. Genealogical research revealed a Jacob Blume born in Tennesseee and a farmer in the 1870 census living in the Harrison township of Hansen County in Indiana:1870 United States Federal Census about Jacob Blume
