Yes, I have that stein and a bunch of similar ones clearly by the same manufacturer. But I haven't been able to find out which manufacturer it is! They did that distinctive big imprint of musterschutz on the bottom, and later (1956) did the American Bravo for that importer. I strongly suspect that it was Thewalt, but I don't have proof. Whoever it was only seems to have marked two designs of steins that way, the Schnitzelbank steins and a much rarer Santa's Dorf stein. I've seen a second example Hugo Brennig schnitzelbank stein on ebay, so he must have done a fair sized batch although it is a small portion of the total production. Maybe I should investigate Eckhardt & Engler and see what sort they made.
