THE TYPE 5 MARK
(DECORATING MARK)


Type 5 - hand inked: This is the Mike Wald "other Mark #2" (circled). It is NOT inked over a lightly tooled (inscribed) HR. The uncircled HR IS inked over an inscribed HR and is the "type 1c/2" factory logo. From 1886 on, with the exception of some Thewalt steins, the "type 5" mark was used on all steins decorated in Freising, OVER PREVIOUSLY APPLIED DECOR, whether they were manufactured there or not. Note that on this mark the top of the "R" extends over and beyond the righthand upright of the "H." For a further explanation of this mark see "The Type 5 Mark in Depth."
