Bill, Actually E&E was founded in 1898 as a wholesaling company. In 1907 E&E was entrusted with selling steins for Rosskopf & Gerz. In 1914 E&E began to manufacture stoneware and acquired some of the RuG molds in 1918 for their own line of steins. E&E eventually bought the rest of the RuG molds around 1922. While Rug had their own marks, it is rare to find their steins bearing the mark. Since E&E marked steins are common, it may be possible that E&E had the steins bear their mark from 1907-1918, although the RuG book thinks the E&E mark dates from no earlier than 1918. Ron
