Can anyone help me to identify & value these steins? The first is a 0.5 litre stein with a heavy pewter lid, with the name "Russ" etched on top of the lid, with "1/2 L" engraved to the left of the handle near the top of the stein. There is a picture of a city with the words cruls (or gruls) aus Nurnberg and two pictures of statues; one of a person holding two geese & the words "Ganse-mannchen" and the other statue is of a seated, bearded man with the words "Hans Sachs - Denkmal". On the bottom is a capital H beside a lower case h, a seperate I with an x above it and in the center some illegible script. Please see photos at http://www.shutterfly.com/osi.jsp?i=67b0de21b34a0c166578 The second stein has Germany stamped on the bottom. It has a picture of one man sitting on a tree trunk talking to a standing woman & sitting at a table of sorts, with a man across from him smoking a pipe. To the sides of the tree-trunk design handle are the words "Trinke stets mit nie zuwenig & Mass und Ziel. nie zuviel." on a banner over leaves; pictures, leaves, banners, etc. over navy blue background; upper & lower edge of stein light pearly orange in color. "C5T" stamped in orange border to the left of handle. Ornate metal lid.
