Reinhold Hanke made steins 1868-1938. This #1257 Monkeys stein is about 7-1/2" tall, it has a 0,5L capacity mark, mold #1257 and a curved GERMANY on the base, no Hanke logo. This one may have been made by Hanke and marketed through Steinzeugwerke. For a brief period 1911-1912 Hanke was with the firm Steinzeugwerke, supposedly they didn't use Hanke logo's on those steins. I really like this one because when the lid is up and you drink the monkey is looking at you! "Quod erat demonstrandum. In Latin" (Which was to be demonstrated.) This monkey has it's tail on the stein body, but I have also seen this same stein with the tail wrapped around the monkey's left leg.
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.
