I am in Dallas Tx and came across a German stein that was made in Western Germany, per the sticker on the bottom. There are no other identifiable markings on the bottom. I just would like to know if there is a steinologist in Dallas that I could contact to see the value.

It has soldiers in different color uniforms painted on the sides and the handle has 1840 painted on it. The stein has a seemingly pewter lid on the top. Thank you

Chuck
