My guess is what you have here is a presentation stein rather than a regimental stein. The phrase besten Schatzer Grenadier Sommer 4/110 could be translated: Grenadier Sommer, the best treasurer of the 4/110. It is my belief that 4/110 refers to the 4th Company of the 2nd Baden Grenadier Regiment Kaiser Wilhelm I No. 110. This pewter stein was most likely given as a gift to Sommer in appreciation for his service as the treasurer of his company. As to value, it's impossible to make an estimate without a picture. Although I can't guarantee my translation, I hope the rest of the information I've provided is helpful.
