A Vintage Barber Pole Restored to Museum Quality Standards

Barbers have been around almost as long as recorded history. In Egypt, as early as 3500 BCE, barbers were priests who trimmed hair to keep evil spirits from entering the body. In Greece during the 5th century, barbers existed similar to how we know them today - they styled hair, trimmed beards, and encouraged conversation. And for awhile during the Middle Ages, these men even performed medical services, like bloodletting and amputation, because they were so skilled in using blades and making others feel at ease.

Beyond the history of the ancient world, Americans think of barbershops as classy places where men go to enjoy each other?s company and relax. The golden age of these shops was between 1880 and 1940 when they were known as a weekly or daily hangout. The men who frequented these businesses were always full of stories to tell whether they be about their service in a war or the simple struggles of American life during harsh times. Barber Poles in America often added the color blue to the traditional red and white design of the past to instill patriotic pride. When the pole was spinning and the sign lit, you knew great company was there to welcome you inside.
