Clare, The $275 value is in line with the value shown on The Thewalt Catalog on The Beer Stein Library. However, that is for a stein in mint condition and the lid on your stein is damaged. My experience has been that the values on eBay will tend to be lower than values shown elsewhere. Here is the information on this stein in The Beer Stein Library: “Keinen Tropfen im Becher mehr.” (No more drops in the beaker.) Text is from the poem “Die Lindenwirtin,” written by Rudolph Baumbach in 1876 and set to music in 1878 by Franz Wilhelm Abt. The poem honors Ännchen Schumacher (1860-1935), perhaps the most famous landlady/tavern keeper in German history and a popular figure with German students. Ron
