Sooo, one day while visiting my mother-in-law in Germany, we decided to out and get a bite to eat. We ended up at the Königsbacher Brauerei restaurant located on the south shore of the Rhine just a bit east of Koblenz. The food was great - we all had creamed herring and potatoes - and the beer great (although I couldn't drink that much cuz I was driving). We sat by one of the big picture windows which overlook the Rhine and just below on our side of the river bank was train tracks, so I got a double dose of fun eating and watching trains pass by. Upon leaving the restaurant I purchased this wonderful beer coaster holder with a set of coasters! The stein was a separate purchase while in Koblenz on one of our shopping trips. Koblenz was founded in 9bce dating the stein to 1991 - our last year in Germany. The marking - 'PA" in Diamond - is on the bottom of the vessel and is one of those I simply forgot to photograph and have so far been unable to attribute it to a manufacturer. Enjoy! Opa Fritz
