Earlier today, I found this glass stein. I can understand a little bit of the inscription but my research now seems to have reached a standstill....
Even the reproduction stuff now has some age to it!
It does seem like a bad idea, but there's no shortage of photos of exactly this sort of thing: [ATTACH] [ATTACH] BTW, I love that, in the first...
You can see a reproduction chamber pot HERE in a very similar style, but with marks on the bottom, and a note inside saying it's a reproduction!
I realize this is a joke photo, but still...
The pot in this photos appears to be about the same diameter: [ATTACH]
Thank you for your replies. Debora, I expect you're probably right, and it's modern (probably from the 1970's). Still, the Pears logo seems to...
I picked this up today, assuming it was a 1970's reproduction. When I got it home, though, the more I looked at it the more convinced I became...
Hi, Susan: Yes, I had a good look. There's something on the inside, on the bottom, that MAY be a touchmark, but it's so faint I can't tell for...
So, I've discovered that a mug like this is properly called a "cann", and its shape is descriped as "tulip". I was able to find one that's...

I haven't discovered anything new about A.C. Stone, but it turns out his brother T.A. Stone was quite the guy. Here's his obituary, from a July...
Hi Ladybranch, Thanks for your thoughts. Like you, when I found out about this C. A. C. Stone I was excited because I thought for sure he must be...
So far, I've found just one mention of him, in the April 8, 1942 issue of the Ottawa Journal newspaper: [IMG] So, we now know he was a real...
Wow, so this mug may have been made quite a bit earlier than the 1790-1826 range that I'd thought. Thanks so much for your help, Ladybranch! I...
Thanks! I know pewter doesn't have tons of value but I bought this mug for what I thought was a fair price; $85 Canadian (about $62 USD). I hope I...
Thank you for your replies, moreotherstuff and Ownedbybear. Wow, good Queen Victoria's uncle!
Hi, everyone: I'm new to the world of pewter collecting, and am learning as fast as I can, but I was wondering if anyone could tell me anything...
