This is a brewery stein with a rabbit in the logo for a very old brewery with history. The brewery traces it origins to the year 1534, as shown on one of the coasters below, when it shared its premises with bakery. In 1589, the year on the stein, the brewery became independent from the bakery. The mark on the base is "Sahm - Merkelbach - Hohr Grenzhausen" (see: Chris Wheeler's "Stein Marks"), ca. post WWII. | |
