Reinhold Hanke started his firm in 1868. This 1/2L Fireman is about 7" tall and has no marks at all. In 1887 it was required to have Germany or Made in Germany on all exports.
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.
