Shaving mugs have experienced a strong revival, especially for vintage and antique shaving mugs.. Their popularity is driven by a growing community of wet-shaving enthusiasts who prefer traditional grooming rituals.  Based on the shape and the decal, we dated it to the 1970's - 80s, thinking perhaps it was issued for our 1976 bicentennial.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA beautiful piece for an Americana collector, a history teacher, a bathroom vanity holiday display, or a Father's Day gift for the man who still shaves the old-fashioned way.  Great piece for a patriot.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe famous painting of the Declaration of Independence was created by the American artist John Trumbull.  It depicts five of our founding fathers presenting the first draft to the Continental Congress on June 28, 1776.  From left to right, they are: John Adams, Roger Sherman, Robert R. Livingston, Thomas Jefferson and in the middle, holding the document, is Benjamin Franklin.  They are standing in front of John Hancock.\u003cbr\u003eThe Original Small Version took Trumbull more than 30 years, from 1786 to 1820). After Congress commissioned him to create a massive 12-by-18-foot version for the U.S. Capitol, he finished the piece in only 13 months. It was permanently installed in the U.S. Capitol Rotunda in 1826. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Antigo Trunk","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43264768114897,"sku":"U2993","price":24.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0624\/1733\/8577\/files\/IMG_8521_1644ae9b-e652-4fb5-93d0-6375742be6ad.jpg?v=1787677597","url":"https:\/\/www.antigotrunk.com\/en-ca\/products\/shaving-mug-declaration-of-independence-signing-porcelain-vintage-1970s","provider":"Antigo Trunk","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
