Johann Peter Thewalt made steins 1887-1930, this 0,5L "Wanderer" stein is about 10-1/2" tall and has #11 on the base and it looks like the Reinhold Merkelbach 0,5L #1154. But it has a partial makers mark of Johann Peter Thewalt, in the Beer Stein Library J.P.T. made a Wanderer #333 that doesn't look anything like this stein. During the late 19th century, it had a good working relationship with the J.W. Remy company, due to the fact that Carl Thewalt was married to Anna, the daughter of Johann Wilhelm Remy. There was considerable cross trading, with the companies exchanging molds, production capacity and labor. This lead to many similarities in their product ranges. Possibly R. Merkelbach made some for J.P.T. and installed their logo.
Ein Strausschen a. Hute, den Stab in der Hand, zieht rastlos der Wanderer von Lande zu Land!
(Flowers on the hat, staff in hand, the restless wanderer moves from place to place!
