Other items sold by Wardonia.
The larger box is called a “Bath Room Set” which I have seen in ivory, walnut and blue, whilst the smaller one was known as a “Blade Bank” also shown is the Bath Room Set shipper. 1937 onwards. | |
The patent rights for this stropper were purchased by Wardonia in 1927 whether it ever went into production I have not yet determined. | |
This glass stropper was recently sold on e-bay as a Wardonia item, but I’m not too sure. Wardonia usually had their name placed conspicuously on every item | |
This ‘W1’ shaving brush manufactured by “Vulvix” of Manchester is one of only two that I have come across. Incidentally Vulvix is still in business today. | |
Despite the scarcity of Wardonia brushes today, their 1929/30 catalogue lists a very full range of different sizes varying in price from 2/6 for the W1 to 10/6 for the W6. All these brushes were guaranteed to be made from badger bristle. | |
Wardonia Shaving Soap was said to “soften each bristle down to the root” and was manufactured for them by Charles Midgley of Manchester. I have not seen a shaving stick with the Wardonia logo. These sets cost 1/3 in the 1940’s |
