Description

Antique G. Heileman Golden Leaf Beer stein in WELL USED condition. Condition is "used"
I collect these glasses, so I inspect them very closely. I grade each glass according to the scale at the bottom of this description page, please take the time to read and understand the scale. If there are any chips, cracks, or notable damage I will mention it in the primary description below. Please message me if you have any questions.
12oz, 5 1/16" tall ceramic stein in WELL USED condition. Please look closely at all photos for an accurate understanding of condition. Golden Leaf was produced by Heileman from 1890 until prohibition. This mug was probably made around 1900. The gold leaf has been worn away in areas, but the whole label is there and you can still make out the "G Heileman Brewing Co" "La Crosse Wis." and "U.S.A." at the bottom of the label. No chips or cracks, the glaze is intact and complete. The maker's stamp on the bottom is nice and bold. This is an old, rare piece of Wisconsin brewing history.
I list vintage beer glasses every week. Please have a look through my other listings and check back in regularly!
GRADING SCALE:
PRISTINE = no identifiable wear marks of any sort, the glass is like new.
NEAR-PERFECT = less than 5 minimal, very light wear marks identifiable only using a light source and looking very closely.
EXCELLENT = up to 15 light wear marks around the glass, such as rub marks and micro-scratches, but no true scratches. Possibility of very minor chip/scratch in the label if there are no other wear marks on the glass.
VERY GOOD = similar number of wear marks as excellent rating, just a little more noticeable. Possibility of a light scratch ring on the bottom surface. Possibility of a minor chip or scratch in the label, nothing obvious.
GOOD = many light wear marks with the possibility of 1-2 minor scratches somewhere on the glass. Noticeable scratch ring on the bottom surface likely. Possibility of minor label damage.
WELL USED = lots of wear and/or multiple obvious scratches. Heavy scratch ring on the bottom surface likely. Significantly faded or damaged label possible.
DAMAGED = cracked, chipped, or very heavily worn glass.
