Congratulations, what a beautiful stein, but as it is a German Stein, and aGerman name engraved, I would suggest to read the date the german way (the other way round): 23rd of May, 1908.
Sorry for making the stein 15 years older, but in my opinion it is pre- war
You are correct. That was a careless error on my part, thanks for pointing it out. I have edited the entry.
Thanks again.
Walter
