Catalog No. 1132
Pottery, figural, 0.5L.
Found both with and without a pewter lid ring.
Text:
�Dein Gl�ck u. Stolz: glatte Bahn, gut Holz.�
(May you have luck and glory: smooth path, good wood.)
�Alle neun!�
(All nine!)
The phrases Gut Holz and Alle Neun are a common German bowling expressions meaning �good luck� and �strike� respectively.
The centrally depicted pig (or Schwein) is German symbolism for good luck, or in this case a strike.
This stein exists in two virtually identical versions numbered 1132 and 11132 (presumably later). Sale prices tend to be in the same general range for both.

Price Range: $175-$250
