Reinhold Hanke made steins1868-1938. This "Hunter Fox" stein is about 8" tall and has mold #1441 and Germany but no capacity mark or makers mark. It was required in 1887 to have Germany on all exports. This stein may have been made 1887-1921.
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.
Because it doesn't have a Hanke makers mark it's possible it could have been sold through Steinzeugwerke 1911-1917 after this Reinhold Merkelbach was the only company still involved with Steinzeugwerke.
