How do I find out how much an antique handcarfted german beer stein is worth?

Answer 1

Go to the library and get a book that lists prices of beer steins. Look up any marks on the bottom of the stein. Take it to a consignment shop and see what they offer-but beware-and don't sell it there until you are sure of worth. You can find lots of examples on the internet if you just look. Always remember the big prices need a buyer willing to pay that much.
