Early Freising factory, pre-Hauber & Reuther, narrow-bodied character stein. Made by Schön & Borho between January 1,1876 to Sept 1,1876. They were the only manufacture that used a large 10mm size mold number. The "L" in the capacity mark does not have a serif (horizontal top line) until 1882 when it became Hauber & Ruther. Designed by Maximilian Borho. It's about 8-1/2" tall. Many of the early character steins did not have a thumblift. This #55 stein body has been seen with 3 different heads.
