What you have is a ½-liter (.5l) stein made in the Rheinhold Hanke (RH) factory, probably around 1900. The text reads: "Bei Trunk u. Scherz bleibt froh das Herz." (With drink and good humor the heart stays happy.) At $25 you probably got a good deal, but pricing depends on a number of factors that can't be evaluated based on your description.
