<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Lucille.b, post: 434367, member: 51&quot;]For years I was somewhat turned off by beer steins. (Ironic, because I love beer. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie82" alt=":singing:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />). My parents had some inexpensive steins from the 1970s and they just seemed so uninteresting.</p><p><br /></p><p>180 degree turn around, finding there is beautiful art in many of the older ones.&nbsp; Yesterday at the GW, this was out on 1/2 price day for $2.99.&nbsp; It is a fairly large stein, measuring 10 1/4&quot;.</p><p><br /></p><p>Yes, I see the giant chip.&nbsp; Realize this kills the value, but I could not leave it on the shelf, even if I just owned it for a little while.&nbsp; Love the relief work, think it is quite beautiful. Other than the main chip, it is perfect and the handle is so great --an old pot bellied beaded guy hoisting a beer barrel on his back, lol!</p><p><br /></p><p>Thinking maybe late 1800&#039;s early 1900&#039;s? Not too much of a question here, unless someone recognizes the maker, or has a few keywords or comments.&nbsp; Thanks.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]152297[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]152298[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]152299[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]152300[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]152301[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]152302[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]152303[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]152304[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
