Beer stein with a lot of interesting marks. Inside the lid has a 66, or a 99. It also has the letters "DBGM". Under that in a diamond are the letters "DRM". On the side of the stein it is a city scene with a sign that says "Frankfurt Main". Under the handle it has the numbers "3690". Painted on the bottom it says "handgemalt", or handpainted with a 25. Stamped on the bottom it appears to be a triangle with a torch inside. beneath the triangle it says "BERZ Seit 1862". What is the age and is it worth anything?
This is a modern common souvenir stein for Frankfort. As such its value is no more than $25. It was made by Simon Peter Gerz, which was established in 1862. The firm is no longer in business although someone did buy their name and logo. Visit http://www.steincollectors.org to learn more about antique German beer steins.
