I've inherited 3 older german beer steins I need help with. I'll post seperately for each The first I've done some homework and have found it to be a Eckhardt and Engler stein. The numbers "717" and "1" are imprinted on the bottom. There is also a number "4" in ink. It has a hunter, walking through a forest, with a deceased deer over his shoulders. Also pictured are two dogs. One is trailing the hunter with his fromt paws on the hunter's boot. The other dog is walking to the hunters right side. What is the appoximate age, rarity, and value of this stein? What do the numbers signify? Thanks in advance for any and all help! Mike
