American Brewing Company Stein

Description

I need to know the value of this beer stein.

The stein is large and is from the American Brewing Company in Saint Louis Missouri

It has a pewter top but it is broken.

The bottom of the stein says GERMANY and has a few other marking and number.

()see photos for details)

The stein looks like it would pour beer, not drink from it.

Believe it is for decorative display, but not sure.

 This is a beer pitcher. American Brewing Company operated  from 1890-1906,  this label for their A B C Bohemian beer. Wow, hardly any info on this but I found a site

A stein like this would considered rare, being that the company that it represents only was in operation a short period of time. Placing a avalue on it is difficult, generally the only way to find out is to use the services of a Specialist dealer like Gary Kisner ( see link below)
