Earl of Surrey & Sussex Beer Stein Tankard England "King Arthur of Chicago" Vtg: $40.00
****FAST & FREE SHIPPING IN THE CONTINENTAL US!!!***This is a very interesting piece with perhaps an air of intrigue and mystery! It is a lovely butterscotch colored vintage stein/tankard marked 1286-1347 John de Warenne, with depiction of the Earl of Surrey of Sussex that was made in England, inclusive of a Greek Key design at the bottom, measuring approximately 4.5" tall. It appears to be from mid to late 20th century. That, in and of itself is enough to be a very nice vintage piece, but not the most interesting part. It is marked on the bottom, "Made in England for King Arthur of Chicago". This led me to look into it a bit further. It is possible that it is a piece that was made for "King Artthur's Pub" of Chicago, but it would seem to me that it would have included the full name. This was a pub in Chicago mid to late last century. It does have a theme that would of course coincide with the graphic on the piece. I didn't really find more than that to connect the two. Other than that there is the King Arthur Court, a Ballroom at the InterContinental Hotel of Chicago. Again, it would seem that the full name would be utilized, and I couldn't find anything else. While I cannot be certain, it is possible that the piece may have been made for Arthur Katzinger (who later changed his last name to Keating), of EKCO Housewares company! There is no way to know for certain if it is one of a kind and/or if it actually belonged to Arthur, this is just what I was able to conclude based on my brief research into who "King Arthur of Chicago" was. Arthur was the son of Edward Katzinger, who founded Edward Katzinger Company. Arthur later ran and grew the company following his father's passing. He changed the company name to EKCO and became the giant that it was. At some point, Arther apparently was given the nickname "King Arthur of Chicago" due to his keen business sense that made the EKCO brand what it once was due in large part to purchasing many competing companies throughout the years. EKCO also had many subsidiaries around US, Germany and England, including one that was renamed in 1956 to Prestige Group, LTD, operating 5 factories in England and 2 in Germany. This could have been manufactured by them, but again, no way of knowing this for certain. There is an additional mark seen on the bottom, which appears to be an "I". I have only found one similar but it was a different Earl and it was only marked on the bottom with "Made in England" in a circle. This is a wonderfully unique piece for collectors or those looking to add a touch of vintage charm to their home bar, this small tankard/stein is a unique and interesting item for beer aficionados. What a cool gift for someone who is interested in Chicago. Whatever the actual history of this piece is, it is a lovely and fun piece that will no doubt add an interesting element to any home bar, mancave or the like! If only that were known for certain it could be worth significantly more. Since I do not know for certain, I have priced it accordingly. Please feel free to ask any questions prior to purchase. This does have surface crazing due to the age as seen, which adds that extra vintage element to the piece. Overall it is a beautiful piece with minimal age and wear as seen. - Please take a look at my store—you may just find what you didn’t realize you were looking for!Have a beautiful day!Thank you so much for checking out and purchasing my items!Please note the following:
