Hi, I'm looking for some help in identifying and valuing a banded Stein which I purchased yesterday in my home town of Brentwood Essex, England. The 'pewter' lid is engraved "Weihnachten 1919 E.K." (Christmas 1919). The three blue bands are raised and decorated with on glaze enamel motifs in yellow and white. The upper band is also impressed with 1/2 L which denotes it's size. There is a circle on the top of the handle. The base is impressed 2318 and inscribed II6 !. The body of the stein is in excellent condition with no chips cracks or restoration. The lid does have a some shallow dents to one side but they look like they've been there some time given the patination.
