These are 100 year old steins from Standard Brewery in Baltimore

Dang,those had to cost you! Here's a couple of glass stiens I got from Germany with hop bines around the lid & the Bavarian crest. My dad's side is from Upper Bavaria;

Cool steins... I have a few more. The ones up top are "His and Hers" versions that I picked up at a stein show last week.

 

[unionrdr]

Lolz,his & hers. I like that. Reminda me of Girve's Brown Derby when it was still across from Hopkins. They had two rib steaks,the Napolean & the Josphine. Josephine was smaller.

Newest member of the gang - Westerwald Stoneware stein - ca. 1870

^^Wow! That one almost looks like carved ivory. Very cool. I like steins for when we're sittin in the shade in warm weather,waitin on the bbq pit. Keep the dust & bugs outta the beir. Plus they look so cool.

 

[brewinchef_fairfax]

We road tested it last night at a local restaurant... Keeps the beer nice and cold. They're a lot of fun to drink from and draw a few stares here and there. Sometimes people can't believe we bring the old ones out - but that's what they were meant for.

 

[unionrdr]

I'll bet they stare a lot. That one is def different.

I will have to catch up to this one when i get home. i've got a decently sweet collection of old ones with some not so old. great thread idea!

 

[GarageDweller]

Having trouble uploading photos. here's a few. i will post a few more up later. None of these have dates on them, which makes me think they're not that old...First two are stamped 'Germany' on the bottom, the Shakespeare one is from England. It says "Do thou amend thy face & I'll amend my life"

 

[LabRatBrewer]

I don't drink out of this one:

 

[brewinchef_fairfax]

GarageDweller - please do - I'd love to see them!!!
That's a great pitcher!

 

[GarageDweller]

Here are a couple more. The last one is really old, but again, has no date on it. Most of these are way too soiled to think about drinking out of. I have a couple glass ones that are great for pouring from the kegerator though.

 

[unionrdr]

This last one is pretty cool. I have a pewter tankard that came from Sheffield,UK from the Avon City rummage/antique sale a few years ago. Haveta get a pic of it,althought it's old & kinda plain.

 

[VladOfTrub]

Jeez, you guys have some great works of art. They are fabulous. If only they good talk. The stories they could tell.

 

[brewinchef_fairfax]

None of these have dates on them, which makes me think they're not that old...

They've got some age to them...

#1 is ca. 1950 to 1980

#2 is ca. 1890 to 1910

#3 is ca. 1880 to 1900

My Grandfather was gifted this by a German POW in WWII. Hand pounded from a 150mm shell.

Here are my four. Nothing too special, but the third from the left is a real tooth chipper.

 

[DPBISME]

Does this count?

My Father in law had a nice little collection of Steins when he passed away about 10 years ago.
I mentioned wanting them, but wife and her sibs let them go to the estate auction.
I did not go to the auction, or I probably would have bid on them; don't even know what they went for.

Some lucky jerk probably got them for a buck or two a piece.

unbelievable!

 

[brewinchef_fairfax]

Here's an 1890 Westerwald stoneware I grabbed from a restaurant that was closing about a year ago. Filled with my newest Munich Yunger Ale - what a great beer.

Here are mine. Nothing too crazy. All the big ones, except for the Air Force Academy, are Avon that I got from my great grandma after she passed. The two small ones came from my in-laws after they went to Germany and Praha.
