Catalog No. 50
Porcelain, figural, 0.5L, lithophane (man falling off bicycle).
Text:
“All Heil”
(Safe travels)
A special order variation of this stein (below) was made for the League of American Wheelmen, a U.S. based cycling club. Externally, the two differences from the standard stein are the replacement of the words “All heil” with “LAW” on the front, and a LAW insignia on the lid shield rather than a bicycle. Most of the special order steins also have the standard lithophane depicting a man falling off a high-wheel bicycle into a female pedestrian. A smaller number of known examples depict a man and a woman riding together on more modern “safety” bicycles. Presumably, the original lithophane was replaced on steins in a later order from the cycling club. The later lithophane is not known to have been used on any of the “All heil” steins.
