Glass Tube
Almost every barbershop has a glass tube with a striped design and I always wanted to know what they are for.?
I also was wondering how and where they originated.
Barbershops use to provide “bloodletting”
When people thought that bleeding out bad blood was a way to cure or prevent illnesses
The red and white poles let people know that you could have it done there.
The red and white stripes symbolize the bandages used during the procedure: red for the blood-stained and white for the clean bandages. Originally, these bandages were hung on the pole to dry after washing. The barber pole became emblematic of the barber/surgeon’s profession. Later the cloths were replaced by a painted wooden pole of red and white stripes.
