Here is a vintage magazine advertisement for a sanitary toothbrush holder that was manufactured by The Safety Wire Gas Globe Co. The ad includes an illustration of the toothbrush holder holding four toothbrushes, two bottles and a tube (which may contain toothpaste) placed on its side above the toothbrushes.
Here is a black and white clip art version of the illustration from the ad.
The ad is from the September 6, 1917 issue of Hardware Age magazine.

Oh I am loving this!! It kind of makes you wonder just how many homes actually had one of these when they first came out! I am guessing a lot! Thanks Julie!
I’m happy to know you’re loving this one Sherri! 🙂 It would be interesting to know if a lot of homes had one or if it was considered an unnecessary luxury.
Thank you Julie for the daily designs. I really enjoy receiving them. Today’s was so perfect as I just spent the morning with someone discussing bathroom renovating ☺
You’re welcome Maria. I’m happy to know that you’re enjoying the vintage images! I think this would be perfect enlarged a bit and framed for a bathroom. In fact, I love that idea so much (and I have the perfect little spot) to do the same. Thank you for the idea! 🙂
