The building that served as the model for this stein is the landmark Frauenturm, a defensive tower constructed in the 16th century at Nuremberg�s main gate.
Hans Sachs, pictured in one of the side inserts (below), was a shoemaker, poet and German master singer. He is remembered today largely as a result of being cast as the leading character in Richard Wagner�s opera, Die Meistersinger von N�rnberg (The Master Singers of Nuremberg). On the opposite side is a Nuremberg cityscape.
�F&M/N� is the mark of Felsenstein & Mainser, a Nuremberg finishing shop and distributor.
