Made by Reinhold Hanke 1868-1938. This is an early stein with no markings at all. It's 8-1/2" to the top of the porcelain insert and 5" across the base. It holds about 1-1/8L of beer. It has a 5 ring closed hinge. It's not in the old catalog section of Stein collectors international but there were a few Hanke steins with a lot of decretive bands around them like this one. It wasn't in the Beer Stein Library either, but the handle was.
August 1st and 2nd 1921 the firm of August Hanke was virtually destroyed by fire, all the molds were destroyed. Its operations from that point were a mere hint of what they had been. August Hanke (Reinhold's son) unsuccessfully attempted to rebuild his business, but he still produced some ceramics at a reduced level. August Hanke died 1938 and all production stopped. So most Hanke steins were made 1868-1921.
