Regarding the Bismarck stein that is marked "Standard Brewery Co. Baltimore" on the base: I have done a little research and this may be of interest to those interested! This company apparently starting using the name "Bismarck" for one of it's brands of beer around 1904. There apparently was some disagreement with another brewery (Interboro)about the use of this name per a court document I found on the web. Interboro had the name (but never sold a brand with it on it) and Standard got permission to use the name and registered it in 1907 as they were the only company making beer with that name. (Cont.)
