Has been in family for more than 60 years. Found in a basement by my father-in-law when he was a plumber. It is unusual because I can't find it anywhere online. It is 1/2 ltr. and is blue and gray. It has an Indian Chief and Indian items around the stein. It says "Chief Wolf Robe Cheyenne"
This salt glazed stein was made by Simon Peter Gerz. This was a series of steins honoring 19th century American Indian tribal leaders. All bear the same mold number and are otherwise identical except for the central images, which are drawn from photographs taken by Frank A. Rinehart (1861-1928) at the Indian Congress held in 1898 in conjunction with the Trans-Mississippi and International Exposition. Examples include: Chief Hollow Horn Bear, Sioux; High Bear, Sioux; and Chief Wolf Robe, Cheyenne.
