I don’t know if he still does it, but David Harr is the best.

Go to the Beer Stein Library and look in the Reinhold Hanke catalog mold # 1017. He lists the limited color version at $40-$60.

I agree that they are pewterer marks, but it is strange that only Mettlach pewterers used them.

I first thought it was just on insert lids but over half my tapestries have a mark. As I said before, I have yet to find a non Mettlach with the markings.

Walt, Some are hard to make out but others are easy to see. All are raised letters and not incised in. Here are 3 different ones.

I sure hope you are now the owner of the steins.

I do not claim it is a V&B stein, I only point out the unmistaken similarities to the one in the book. Maybe Chris Wheeler can help identify the Frankfurt pewterer Endres and his years of operation.

The stein holds .5 liter to the mark. Can I assume the 31 on the bottom line is for 1931 ?

The stein was made by Marzi & Remy. It is listed in the BSL under decoration # 15035. The 10/20L capacity designation may be unique to M&R, as every time I have seen it the mark has been on a M&R stein. Thanks for the DT information.

Stein seems to be a cleric and the lid is engraved Semper Idem and the name Sumpf.
(Semper idem was a popular expression with English Puritans during the seventeenth century to refer to The Immutable Mercy of Jesus Christ. This Latin phrase meaning “Always The Same” was used when preaching on the popular text from Hebrews 13:8) Seems to fit the image.
