I'm attempting to gather information about the manufacturer Franz Stöber and was wondering if anyone could perhaps help me. I'm trying to find out where they are/were located, when they were in operation and if they are still in operation - perhaps a point of contact. This firm may no longer exist, as I've not found the mark on any mugs produced after about 1985. Rastal subcontracted the manufacturing of the first 7 years of the Oktoberfest Jahreskrug to this firm. The items produced by Stöber have the initials "FS" located inside a diamond just beneath the capacity mark. I have several mugs/steins that are stamped with "rastal" but also have the "FS" mark on them as well. I believe Stöber was a relatively small company as the only mugs I've found with the "FS" mark were for special events where I believe productions numbers would have been relatively low. I've tried steinmark with no luck and so far, have not gotten a response from Rastal. I would appreciate any information anyone can provide about Franz Stöber and the "FS" trademark. Thanks
