Reinhold Hanke made steins 1868-1938 this Monkey with Top Hat is about 9-3/4" tall. The base has a curved GERMANY typical of Hanke steins and the mold #1261, but no Hanke mark. Possibly it was manufactured by Hanke but sold through Steinzeugwerke 1912 & 1913.
Wie die Raupe vom Schmetterling, stammt vom Affen der Kater,
wer das S�hnchen vermeiden will, h�te sich vor dem Vater.
(As the caterpillar comes from the butterfly, from the monkey comes the tomcat,
who wants to prevent the little son should avoid the father.)
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.
