Unusual stein thumblifts. [2] About 1875 to 1920; Animals – Birds [except Eagles]

I have for over a year now placed these three short “notifications” at the bottom of each page!      

 There are way too many variables: condition, location, time of year, present trends in stein collecting, local (and now national) economics, never seen before (therefore no comparables); but most of all = prior expectations by the owner, are among the reasons.       

  I just do not have the time.       

My web site was really started as an informational site for beginning beer stein collectors that would be looking for the info and not the general public.
