<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ladybranch, post: 120459, member: 44&quot;]Trying to ID country of origin from the thumb piece. I think the thumb piece on your piece would be considered shell shaped. The <i>Pewter,Tankards and Flagons</i> website that is no longer online because the creator/owner of the site died a few years ago, had a page on thumb pieces of different countries. I saved many of the pages from that website. He has a pic of a shell shape thumb piece saying Dutch, Flemish and France. Following is the pic from that page:</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]30515[/ATTACH]</p><p>Shell. Dutch, Flemish and France.</p><p><br /></p><p>Are there any marks anywhere on the pewter?</p><p><br /></p><p>The following page has an article on stein lids. Scroll down the page to different types of lids with several porcelain with a little description of porcelain insert lids. I didn&#039;t see yours, but a few with hunt and animal scenes. This site might have help for you?? I have a hard time navigating thru this site at times. Maybe you might luck into something.</p><p><a href="http://www.steveonsteins.com/lid-review-old-and-new-2" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.steveonsteins.com/lid-review-old-and-new-2" rel="nofollow">http://www.steveonsteins.com/lid-review-old-and-new-2</a></p><p><a href="http://www.steveonsteins.com/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.steveonsteins.com/" rel="nofollow">http://www.steveonsteins.com/</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Other stein dedicated websites:</p><p><a href="http://www.beerstein.net/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.beerstein.net/" rel="nofollow">http://www.beerstein.net/</a></p><p><a href="http://www.beerstein.net/library.asp" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.beerstein.net/library.asp" rel="nofollow">http://www.beerstein.net/library.asp</a></p><p><a href="http://www.steincollectors.org/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.steincollectors.org/" rel="nofollow">http://www.steincollectors.org/</a></p><p><a href="http://www.steinmarks.co.uk/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.steinmarks.co.uk/" rel="nofollow">http://www.steinmarks.co.uk/</a></p><p><br /></p><p>--- Susan[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
