Hey y'all,
     I went to a nearby antique auction with the intention on winning 2 Imperail German military steins.  However there were some big fish there who also had the same idea.  I had a limit that was soon passed so I was sad to see them go as I collect military collectables.

  I did do some internet research before heading to the auction as I was worried about fakes and values,  and there were other steins that were part of the items auctioned off from this collection.  These went pretty cheap so I ended up winning the bidding on the others.  One is a musical stien, and I belive 3 are Mettlach.    Is there any referance for the numbers to prove this?  Two of the older ones do not have a company stamp just the numbers and what the net says are the fill lines under the measure.

-The blue and white stein is marked Western Germany #1400 and has a part of a cartoche with the bottom letter H
- Tan glazed stoneware with German saying has a old $265 price tag in the lid that nobody saw, and is numbered 1130 with fill mark
- Tan painted litho  is marked 20 and has the fill mark
- painted relief one is a music one with a sticker that is ripped on the bottom that says Einxxxxxxxxx Hochzeits-xxxxschxx is marked Germany on the handle and numbered 338 on the body.

Any help in makers and values will be welcome.

Semper Fi,
Bob
