Catalog evaluates German glasses

Q: Where can I find information on and values of German beer glasses I've collected over the years?

A: Write Andre Ammelounx, P.O. Box 136, Palatine, Ill. 60078, who buys and auctions such glasses, beakers, steins and related items.

Or send $15 for a copy of his May 31, 1995, Mail Bid Stein Auction Catalogue. It pictures 548 lots in color including Mettlach, character, stoneware and brewery steins; glasses; tankards; and other items such as plates, plaques, punch bowls, vases (many of which are Mettlach examples) and some Hummel figurines.

A complete description and estimated value are also included for each lot.

The catalog comes with a prices-realized list sent after the sale, which turns the catalog into a price guide.

Phone Mr. Ammelounx at [phone] for information or should you wish to consign stein items for future auctions.

Write Anita Gold, P.O. Box 59354, Chicago, Ill. 60659, enclosing an addressed, stamped envelope. Due to the high volume of mail, not all letters can be answered.
