Along with several other things, dad brought back from Germany after WWII included a set of very old, handmade, copper wrapped German beer mugs with what appears to be Eskimo Figures on them ! I also inherited a very old, handmade, wooden coach and four horses of German / Austrian origin. I have been unable to get any info about this either and would very much like to post these photos in the hope of someone being able to assist me in identifying it. I wonder if anyone out there can identify these or point me in the right direction please. My company laptop does not allow me to upload the photos. If I can indulge someone to provide me their email and to post them for me I would be very grateful.

Nice old mugs and coach - the emblem on the mugs is not an eskimo but the "Munchner Kindel" the emblem for the city of Munich,Germany. Horst

Thanks for the input. That information would match as dad was assigned to Surplus Liquidation with The First ID in Munich in '47.

Most wooden steins are rather dumpy and unattractive. Some steins from Norway and Sweden are occasionally encountered that are collectible. Here are PICS of the only wooden German stein I felt was 'collectible' and had the opportunity to acquire.
It is a occupational stein. One that celebrates and recognizes the occupation of the owner: stone mason, carpenter, baker, brewer, locksmith, carpenter etc.
This one is for a stone mason and has the tools of his trade carved in relief on the body of the stein and has edelweiss(s) and his initials. I suspect he was born in 1805 as the inset coin on the front is dated 1805 and that corresponds with the approximate date of the stein from 1860-1880.
