Dear experts/collectors

This week I found a beer stein a a second hand shop here in Denmark (I am almost ashamed to tell that I paid 15 DKK = 2€), I have been googling, and it is this one: https://www.beerstein.net/item.asp?ItemNum=vbm-1532 (pictures of my piece can be found in a post on my open Facebookpage: https://www.facebook.com/troels.hegland).

From the marks and google research I date it to 1885 and I would say that the condition is really good: there are a few micro dents on the pewter lid and a bit of crackling inside but that is it. I took it for much newer, when I found it – it is simply a deceptively good condition!

I am seeking more knowledge on the meaning of the design – and also what the price might realistically be in a private sale – not sure I want to sell it, though. On the other hand, a collector might appreciate it more than I – but I am getting more and more fond of it 🙂
