Default Some history from West Germany

My grandmother recently passed away. She spent the early part of her life in Austria. When she passed, we inherited many, many items from Germany, Poland, and France. Here is an image of two beer steins with a West Germany stamp on the bottom.

Kind of a bitter sweet post. A sad loss of your grandmother and the beautiful steins to remember her by

No. She collected kitchen items. I believe she inherited these from her father when he passed who was from Germany.
