Early Freising factory, pre-Hauber & Reuther stein, designed by Maximilian Borho. Made by Schön & Hauber or the Albert Hauber Co between Sept 1,1876 and 1882. Problems of some kind developed at the Freising factory toward the end of the Schön & Hauber period. Whatever was going on at the factory, caused the product design and over all workmanship to deteriorate. The decor was often incomplete, and or sloppy, as was the marking of the steins. Capacity marks were askew, incomplete and often missing entirely. Quality control marks were seldom applied. Model numbers were missing or incorrect. This probably triggered the sale of the factory by Adam Schön to Albert Hauber on August 6, 1878. This stein doesn't have a mold number or capacity mark. There are some base marks, a circle with a dot in it and a straight line next to it. It's about 7" to the top of the pewter lid. This shooting symbols stein is mold #118. This handle was only used in the 1876 through the 1878 production periods. “Sichere Hand, die Augen offen, gut gezielt ist halb getroffen.” (Steady hand, the eyes open, well aimed is halfway to a hit.)
