I did some price research. The seller has two steins, a bit different and different sizes. There exist full color versions and three color versions, the former are more expensive. The one that he is starting at $599 seems the same as one that sold earlier this year for $498. The larger one that he starts at $1599 is the three color version of a stein that in its full color version sold for $3107 at auction earlier this year. On the other hand, on Steintalk in 2004 one Fred gave a much lower estimate of the value of a small one (around $125). I think the ebay guy is a bit high but not totally out of line. We shall see by the bidding if any. I don't know if modern copies exist. I have modern copies of a different Teddy Roosevelt stein but I haven't seen this type. If you see one at an antique mall for $60 you probably have stumbled on a bargain.
