SHOW & TELL #7 Beer Stein
Well it's Friday again and Show & Tell time again. Such a fun time. Be sure and go here, to Kelli's blog There Is No Place Like Home to find out all about it and sign up on Mr. Linky.
This is my show & tell for this week. This is a beer stein (no we do not drink!) but I have a collection of beer steins and mugs that were started with this guy, and then added to by friend's trips overseas and bringing me back steins as gifts. I have had this guy since about 1966, so that makes him 41 years old to me. I have done a lot of looking, when we are in shops where steins sold and I have never seen another one like him. He is so cute and special.He has quite a few stampings on the bottom showing he was made in Western Germany and then initials and numbers.
This is a side view of him showing his handle and profile. Quite a lovable looking guy wouldn't you say?Thank you Kelli for letting me once again participate in your Show & Tell and show off this special little guy.

He's adorable. My dad used to have a few steins and my brother and I would drink LOTS of hot cocoa out of them. He never used them for beer either. LOL.

What an awesome beer stein!! I've never seen one like that either! When I was growing up, my dad had a bar downstairs and he had quite a collection of steins but I'm not sure who my mom gave them too after he passed away, I must ask her! Have a wonderful weekend my friend!! xoxo
I love show & tell!

Hope you are feeling better.

He's so cute and so cheerful! I never had a collection of anything but wish that I had. Too late now--I'll just enjoy other people's.

Awwww...he's so cute. I think you should take him to the Antiques Roadshow. I'll bet he's a unique one.
Thanks for sharing as always.

Cute!
And I am glad you are not one bit guilty for blogging. No one should do anything they feel guilty for.
I just need a bit of balance.
Have a great week Susan!
What a cute stein. I bet every family has at least one stein around from family...
How very neat, and cute! I love coming over to show and tell!
Hi Susan. Love your beer stein he is so cute, my friends got a couple but nothing like that
I linked to your blog. I hope that is ok.
Cute! I'd love to see the others.
ARE YOU KIDDING? You are IN CHARGE of the meeting. You are going to teach us how to do this guilt free and out in the open. Some of us are still "closet bloggers".
What a fun collection. This little guy is a cutie!
AAWW! He is quite a lovable looking guy! What a unique little man! Thanks for sharing. Hope you have a wonderful week!

He looks like a keeper to me. Hey, ya know what? We have an ashtray and we don't smoke. :-)
LOVE the beer stein, with or without the beer.
I trust you are now better Susan.
that is a neat thing to collect ...
i collect postcards that others have sent to me ... my first was a california card, 1961 ... the stamps alone are fun to look at!
Hi Susan! Thanks so much for visiting my blog and your "cyber" friendship. I have really enjoyed getting to know you through blogging. Yes, for some reason my email link doesn't work...so you just have to cut and paste my address into your own email program. (candidreflections@qzip.net) You are certainly welcome to link to my post and I will look forward to what you have to write on it as well! Thank you for asking! Blessings, Diane
