I am unable to ID this beer stein or music box maker. The logo listed on the music box does not yield any results on any maker mark publications. The beer stein itself has no markings other than the number 34 on the bottom of the stein where the music box housing is.

Please help if you can.

Jeremy,
You might find a site like Imgur useful. I think you can make public or hide photos as needed there.

  I am able to view the stein photos by right clicking on the icon, then opening in a new tab.
  
  The stein is clear cut glass with a glass prism lid and a dwarf with keg thumblift. It appears to date to about 1900. The original label is present on the music box mechanism, but I am unable to read it. The stein itself is nice, value somewhat less than $100. The music box will add appeal.

  Jeremy,
  
  The bell next to the music cylinder looks like it may have printing on it. That is where Thorens put their identification, “Switzerland Thorens.” See http://keithwright.ca/Thorens/Thorenspage.html. According to The Beer Steiin Library, a music box adds about 20% to the value of a stein.

Jeremy, files on your computer cannot be accessed by anyone else. Image files need to be somewhere on the internet, and not require a login to access.

well that stinks..I don’t have photos on any public social networking sites. The best I can do is email them. if that doesn’t work, I guess I’m out of luck.

Jeremy,

Thorens made most of the musc boxes found in steins. Try a search for music box steins to see if you can find one that matches your stein to show us. Does your stein have any German verse on it? If it does, try a search in The Beer Stein Library (see Reading section) to see if you can locate your stein.
