Antique 1/2L Reservist German Beer Stein 58th Regiment (Minden) Field Artillery
Item History & Price
Reference Number: Avaluer:84561 | Country/Region of Manufacture: Germany |
This stein was purchased from the Sammler (Collector) Cabinet in Hamburg, Germany ca 2006 during my last tour in Europe before retiring.
It is genuine, no reproduction here! Please read some of the excellent online guides to these items as there are many fakes out there (and on eBay!) Not cracks in porcelain or dents to pewter. You can feel the raised, tiny hand-pai...nted buttons on the uniforms. Reservist's name is on front and company roster under handle. Service dates 1910-1912. Please ask for any additional pictures or info. I will add higher resolution pics shortly.
This particular artillery mug has all of the bells & whistles; "fuse" top unscrews to reveal a green cut glass crystal that makes the lithopane in the bottom look like a kaleidoscope. Lithopane is common soldier & sweetheart. Fancy copper painted "rotating bands" compliment artillery shell theme. Top/finial is a 2 man crew & cannon, thumb-lift is appropriate North Rhine/Westphalia Eagle.
Item will be shipped via USPS Priority Mail, insured. Please see my other listings for similar period items. Will combine shipping when advantageous to buyer.
Thanks for looking!!!
