Reinhold Hanke made steins1868-1938. This "Card Game" stein is about 9-1/4" tall and has mold #1401, Ges Geschutzt and Germany on the base. But no capacity or makers mark. It was required in1887 to have Germany on all exports. This stein may have been made1887-1933 when WW2 started. This stein is unique because of the way two heads stick out so far.
"Bei Spiel u. Scherz, bleibt froh das Herz."
(With games and joking the heart stays happy.)
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."
