How can you tell how old a stein is?
1 Answer
To tell how old a stein is, look at the bottom, interior and handle area for maker's markings. Experts generally recommend conducting online research using trusted resources to learn more about your stein's particular maker in order to date it. Makers like King-Werk Würfel & Müller updated their marks and designs frequently over the years, so for each factory there are different characteristics that you examine to roughly estimate the age of your stein. If you'd like assistance with the dating process, use the services of a certified appraiser or experienced antique dealer. On 1stDibs, explore a selection of beer steins.
