I picked this up at estate sale. We have all seen beer steins, but this one is 1.5 litres. Only marks on the bottom are imprimted "Germany" and the # "1641" . I imagine the 1641 refers to the model. The lid is made from Pewter and has ornate designs on it.
Printed around the bottom of the picture are the words"Mit Trinken und Lieben, werden die Grillen vertrieben"
There is also a 3 letter printer mark around the top of the stein on the outside, which seems to read mon* or maybe mgn*
Anyone know if this is worth keeping or put it in the next garage sale? Think I picked it up for $5 at an auction becuase I had never seen one that big before. It stands 15 inches high to the top of the lid.
