1/2 Liter Hackerbräu stein finished by the firm Gebruder Allmann Seidelfabrik Munich about 1900.
Gebrüder Allmann München. Marsstraße 9, Munich. Bavaria.
Kunst-Zinngießerei, Glas- und Porzellanmalerei. / Decorative Pewter Foundry, Glass & Porcelain Decorators.
The company was founded on 1 May 1870 by Johannes Allmann and his brother Friedrich Allmann. They enjoyed considerable prosperity up until W.W.1 when they employed 15 pewter foundry men and 15 porcelain painters. Their fortunes between the wars were not as good, needing only three employees during 1934. Their last listing was in the 1941 Adressbuch. On the night of the 4th October 1944, the company effectively ceased trading, due to an Allied bombing raid on Munich, during which the company buildings were completely destroyed. A reconstruction was not attempted after the war.
Purchased stein bodies from: Marzi & Remy Merkelbach & Wick
