Steins - Any Good?

[Yob]

SWMBO has asked me to put some pics of these up, a friend of her's mum has these and wants to list them on Evilbay but doesnt know what they are worth.. apparently they are quite old, I dunno feck all about them and my Google-Fu hasnt revealed a great deal.

Any info greatly appreciated.

If you can email me some higher res pics, I might be able to help.

The images Ive got arent much better than the ones Ive posted but will PM them to you.

To properly research I'd need new ones - anything that appears like a manufacturer's mark or date is useful.

I found a couple of sites I'll link to when I'm off the train. Ceramic lowenbrau steins are common enough on ebay and you're looking at around 12 each (probably usd) unless there is aomething about these that makes them rare. That's where date will help.

If you have a look at the ones worth real money, they are generally a lot more elaborate.

For example have a look here: http://www.steincenter.com/stein/pc/viewCategories.asp?idCategory=3
A few available here including lowenbrau: http://chinaminer.canadutch.ca/Steins,_Tankards.php

So better for drinking and enjoying rather than fortune seeking. Like I say, if you can get me a date and/or manufacturer's mark I can do some proper research but I wouldn't be hoping for much. Enjoy using them.

Not my style of thing, just trying to help out.

Appreciate the assist mate, cheers

Yob, those Steins are manufactured by the people who put that sticker on the bottom.
It's a smallish 'ceramic studio', most probably a family business.

They're doing custom Steins, plates etc from 50 pieces onwards, and no doubt all sorts of other stuff as well.

I reckon they sell those Steins anywhere between 5 and 15 Euros depending on size, so make of that what you want.
Certainly not old or rare or anything.

Any idea what she wants for them, they are pretty common in that region, the Augustiner beer hall/garden that I went to in Salzburg Austria had about 5000 of them in circulation for the one venue,

Ahhh memories - that was a good night

My guess is someone knocked them off from a beer hall or oktoberfest one year

That sort of thing would never happen.

No idea mate, can/will ask.

I do find that improbable, though not impossible
