Pewter lid with an etching of Gambrinus leaning on a beer barrel, and saying: Genieß' im edlen Gerstensaft, des Weines Geist, des Brodes Kraft. "Enjoy in the noble barley juice (beer) the spirit of wine and the strength of bread". 
Touchmark of A.H. Canis on featured lid above. 
Here is a slightly more defined example of "D. Canis" to that shown on the left. However it is completely unbalanced because of a cost saving ploy, with the replacement of just the initials "A.H." with "D." which demonstrates that A.H.Canis was the company founder. × 
Sachsenglas stein with crown logo on base, therefore dated 1897 onward.
