You are correct on this being a brewery stein from Fürth in Bayern, a sister city (don't dare call them a suburb) or Nürnberg. The name appears to be Brewery Joseph or Johann Humbser-I can check later to be exact. Your decoration includes flags with the colors of Bavaria and Imperial Germany, with what appears to be an American eagle. The inscription indicates the stein is a remembrance of the 31st of July, 19??, which dates it for you. The stein was issued in honor of some event of importance to Fürth or the brewery and appears to be related to the U.S. in some way. It could be related to a visit to or from the U.S. or any number of things. The exact date might give us a clue. It appears the name of the brewery appears on the lid. It would be nice to see a pic of the lid and the bottom if there are any marks there.
