stein

Description

there are 3 men, 2 sitting on a log at a table. while the 3rd in the middle appears to be serving them. there is also a small lip. it appears to have been made that way, it is smooth. it does need cleaned, however i have not noticed any chips.

i can't get the photo loader to work, so i included links to photos. i hope that is ok. thank you for any help you can give. none of the antique dealers in town can tell me anything about this stein.
