Early Freising factory, pre-Hauber & Reuther stein, designed by Maximilian Borho. Made by Schön & Hauber or the Albert Hauber Co between Sept 1,1876 and 1882. Problems of some kind developed at the Freising factory toward the end of the Schön & Hauber period. Whatever was going on at the factory, caused the product design and over all workmanship to deteriorate. The decor was often incomplete, and or sloppy, as was the marking of the steins. Capacity marks were askew, incomplete and often missing entirely. Quality control marks were seldom applied. Model numbers were missing or incorrect. This probably triggered the sale of the factory by Adam Schön to Albert Hauber on August 6, 1878. This stein only has a small circle with a dot in it on the base, no mold number or capacity mark. It's about 6-3/4" to the top of the pewter lid. This handle was only used in the 1876 through the 1878 production periods. “Gerstensaft u. Hopfen gibt gar gute Tropfen.” (Barley juice and hops produce really good drops.)
