Mann with Rifle Holding Girl ' Lustig Fass' Mich- Lustig Lass Mich '

The music mechanism is old, but by itself difficult to determine from what period.
The Stein mentions ' Germany '. Not W. Germany. That would date it to before May 1949
(when the Bundesrepublik Western -Germany was founded).
The lid does not mention ' DBGM ', as usual from 1960.
Therefore in conclusion i believe the Stein can be dated from before 1949.
