There are steins, and then there is THIS stein! This 100% handmade in the USA 32 oz. Tankard mug is fashioned in the 1700s style with crimp seams, wired rim, and custom stamping. It is built using vintage tools and techniques from the 1700s and early 1800s. This shape has been authenticated to the 1700s via antiques found in Pennsylvania. The copper handle is also cut by hand and folded over twice, then formed individually over a 1700s hollow mandrel with a hammer by hand.
The base sheet is cut into a blank, measured, and cut on the circle cutter. The base is then burred, flattened, and hand-hammered over an anvil before fitting onto the body. The base is tacked on with about 200 hammer strokes before pressed down further with the vintage setting-down machine. Each of these steins take about 4 ½ hours of hand labor to complete!
This tankard stein is “bottomless,” meaning your beer or ale is complimentary whenever your stein is used at The Tun.
REMEMBER, THERE WILL ONLY BE 1,500 STEINS EVER MADE RESIDING WITHIN THE TUN.
The stein logo, as well as the two lines of text, are “hand stamped.” Each line is 22 characters, not counting spaces below your logo. Each stein number is serialized into the base to ensure it is unique and a true collector’s item. You do have the option of having the stein displayed within The Tun — in a locked glass case behind a small placard displaying your name — awaiting your visit, or having it sent to your home. If you choose to keep your stein at home, don’t forget to bring it with you when you visit.
Of course, whether you keep the tankard at home or choose to have it reside in The Tun, you will receive the same service, receiving your beer, ale, soft drink or nonalcoholic beverage of your choice for free.
This 32 oz. stein is named “legacy” tankard because you will be able to pass it down within your family, and EACH family member will be able to drink for free and continue to pass it down. Think about it, your family will forever be able to drink for free.”
Gauge: 24oz copper sheet; Solder: Food-grade silver-based tin solder.
