Hi, I'm from Fortaleza, CE, Brazil. I have one Imperial German WWI Era Kaiserliche Marine Navy 1st High Seas Torpedo Boat Flotilla Beer Stein - dated 1907-1910. It is marked with "Mtr. Petersen". I didn't know it was so valuable. Wish I could read more about it history.

[@ronvavra]

I have a Metlach stein (which I'm surprised you didn't mention) and I can't see 'Germany' anywhere on the bottom.

[@steinsandclocks]

Hello Duke, those steins are very rare, not a lot of people have them. Also they are not made today anymore, that's why it was not mentioned from me. Cheers Markus

[@jcking2758]

I have a very old stein that belongs to my father. I hand washed it but now it is shedding on the outside of the stein. The shedding is a beige color and it looks like fine dust. Could that be the clay shedding?

[@carlorocky]

Thank you for your interesting videos. My mother’s friend was from the Black Forest region of Germany. Many years ago she gifted one of her steins to me. I know it’s real, however, it does not read made in Germany. It is a Marzi Remy. Are you familiar with this brand? Thank you

[@steinsandclocks]

Hello Carl, as far as I know they made steins till 1996. cheers Markus

[@rachelshepherd1901]

Do you have information on the German Regimental Steins? I was going through stuff in my house and found one that says "Infanterie Rgt 11 Comp. 1903/05 - Munchen" on the top and "dem. Fuchsler" on the bottom with the main portion covered in various images of military members, with flags and some sort of coat of arms type imagery on the "front"? (Opposite the handle) and an image of people on the bottom of the inside. I can't find much information on it, just that people are selling similar regimental Steins ranging from $30 up to like $300 or $400. It says Made in Germany, but I was unable to find additional markings of any sort.

[@steinsandclocks]

Hello Rachel, on old Regimental steins I have to pass you on to a antic store. What I can tell you there we also a lot of replicas made like for example from Thewalt ( we also still have several from them ) The original ones, what could be one of yours what you a writing are much more valuable. Cheers Markus

[@charlesoberdorf8478]

I have a stein from my mother, I'm not sure when she got it, but the name on the bottom is Wekara, and it is numbered. It shows the city of Nurnberg on it. Also, can you tell me how to clean the lid? Its shiny on the inside, but very dull and more gray on the outside. I just found your channel.

[@steinsandclocks]

Hello Charles, pewter does get darker over the time. That is absolutely normal. If you would like to have it nice and shiny again, you can use a pewter / silver polish

[@WilliamDoolin-rd5xb]

Hi. I purchased a stein today. Made in Germany on bottom outside a triangle. Also Gerz beit 1862. Is this the date it was made? Up top inside pewter lid is the word ward I think or if u turn it over letters in different lengths........ubbm? And some design beneath that. What do u think? It looks like a tavern picture playing different instruments. Thank you for your time.

[@steinsandclocks]

Hey William, Gerz was a German Stein Manufaktur since 1862. Nobody bought the company, so the Steins are not made anymore. Cheers Markus

[@BeniTora]

I found and got an old blue Zoller and Born stein. But it says it's made in West Germany (It has the Maker Stamp and where it was made on the bottom only). I'm just figuring out how unique it is (Or not unique). You showed only ones that say Made In Germany but not West Germany, so I'm curious if it makes a big difference.

[@steinsandclocks]

Hello Nelvana, with the stamp West Germany, you know that the stein was made before the reunification of Germany.

[@alvarogonzalez3104]

Great video!!! Hey, question, how should a beer stein be washed?

[@markusmontag7002]

Hey Alvaro, we always recommend hand wash because of the pewter lid. Also, dry it off, otherwise, you have watermarks on the lid and that does not look so nice. Best regards Markus

[@alvarogonzalez3104]

Markus Montag Hey!, thanks a lot for the answer, I’ve heard that bier steins should be washed with soap, instead they just me cleaned with hot water and a clean cloth.

[@WilliamDoolin-rd5xb]

Purchased a stein today. Looks like a tavern scene with people playing instruments. On bottom a triangle with the words made in Germany then Gerz beit 1862. Is this the date it was made? On top pewter lid with what looks like a stamp underneath......ubbm? Thank you and what do u think?

[@steinsandclocks]

You did two Posts 😉

[@bridgetodonovan5541]

Hi I have 3 lovely steins for 40 years. I don't know how old they were before I got them. After looking at your video I don't think they are of value as the only marking underneath is "Foreign" am I correct. Thanking you.

[@Westbird1]

my stein only says "Germany 1" on the bottom. I'm guessing it's a fake but the art work is still nice

[@steinsandclocks]

Hello Kenneth, most important is that you like the stein. The number 1 also could be like a form or model number.

hello, i bought my husband a stein and all its says is made in Germany. The only other marking is a U shape with a weird 3 or M or W in the middle....any idea? thanks.

[@steinsandclocks]

Hello, like explained in the video, only limited edtion steins also have the numbers. If it says made in germany that is allready a good sign.

[@sarahohms4584]

I was looking at 3 different german steins at a garage sale. One was stamped west germany and the other was stamped made in germany but was really faded. All the one's shown in this video show GERMANY in all caps. If its stamped (West Germany) with lower case letters, could it be fake?

The number one, also could be a MOLD number. It does mean that this stein was the first one made! Also the stein is not a limited edition. Otherwise it would have the marking 1 of 3.000 for example
