Original Catalogs from Stein Manufacturers

These scans of old manufacturers’ catalogs are useful for identification and research. They are of mixed quality, and few are of original catalogs. Most are scans of copies of copies made years ago when scanners and copiers were both of lesser quality.

If you have copies of catalogs not listed here, the SCI Library would welcome donations of scans.

To aid in the identification of steins which bear a mold or model number but not a manufacturer's trademark, collectors have found it very useful to use that number as the basis for searching the catalogs.

The index page for each catalog includes a brief history of the manufacturer. The catalogs are presented such that you can go directly to an individual page, or scroll through the catalog from the first page. From each page you can click on the image to view a higher resolution image.
