I just do not have the time TO APPRAISE! a bunch of steins
there are way too many variables► condition, location, time of year, present trends in stein/ drinking vessel collecting, local (and now national) economics; but by far the “biggest problem of all ….in communicating “so called values” are the prior expectations by the owner[s]! (which are usually based on hearsay and old, old rumors provide by other family members!!
Also to be considered for any type of ‘value” comparison / or value research is from whom or where are you buying the piece.or where and what for any one piecee sold for… There is a vast difference between buying Any given stein at a local auction or antique shop and buying one from one of the national or international stein auctioneers and of course the major USA auction companies such as Soetheby’s OR Christies who now charge over 22% (I think) just for “the privilege” of buying something from them!……
This web site was started as an informational site for beginning beer stein collectors that would be looking for the info and not the general public. but This site does have its own search engine [top right on each page!] SO if one puts in “Wood Steins” or “Hand painted steins,” it will give one a list of all the pages that has that subject matter word within i. NOTE: I am sorry… but this feature is case sensitive (A “word press: feature not MINE !!!!!
