An inheritance gift - pre-WW-I German Beer Stein

Any of these worth anything??

The first two--yes, how much? I dunno. 3rd on e looks like a "vintage" modern repo though.

Here's some more small ones.....

all these look good but cant tell for sure by not having them in hand. However, one easy way to tell if aged,just look at the bottom and see if there are a lot of scrapes fromactual use. These things are made to last because
Germans like to bang them on their staumtisch when together in some drinking establishment.

Ringo, the ones deadin posted sure look like the typical "Tourist momentos" type to me... very unlike the excellent/superb example Dave the OP posted. As you said, I'd rather see them in hand... but they sure look like 1960's-70's-80's or so tourist shop stuff to me.

Your rright, they very well could be. That's why I warned that one cant be sure unless they are in hand. One thing I looked at-was how much they appeared to have been used. Ive a few like his above as well.

When I was in Germany back in 2000-I knowingly pcked up new made steins. One I love and would never part with-is the Red Baron stein. Mine I think-being its been a few years sinse I last touched it-I think is a 2-liter stein. I bought it for around $100 a the time and an American importer had them here a month later-at $1,500 the exact same stein I had bought for far less.

About 2 years ago-another site here was listing them at about $100--but though exact design-was a 2nd or 3rd generation batch. Mines 1st gen )
