Third Reich Period Telegrapher Stein From List on Sylt

The half liter pottery stein has an overall height of approximately 5-1/2 inches, exclusive of the thumb lift. The front of the stein bears images of the city of List on Sylt, the northernmost municipality in Germany, located on the North Sea island of Sylt close to Denmark in the district of Nordfriesland in the state of Schleswig-Holstein. The lid has the relief symbol of the telegraph, with the raised declaration of “Willst Du Den Freiden So Ruste Zum Kriege” (“If you want peace, prepare for war”). The base has an impressed maker mark and a retailer stamp. The stein shows some wear to the imagery, but it is in excellent condition, without chips or cracks.
