I recently purchased on ebay a Regensburg type stoneware stein 360067002450 even though the hinge is damaged because I wanted an example of an early stein with the swirls on the base. Later I noticed that the panel decoration is the same as the Krebs stein that was stein of the month August 2006. However, it is a different stein, with different framing decoration, handle, and lid. One thing not mentioned by the seller is that the lid is stamped A.Pruckner, which I see in the library was a pewterer active for a long time until a name change in 1889. I'd welcome hearing any thoughts on this stein, particularly clues that might pin down the date or maker a bit further, or just where those panels came from.
