I bought this stein at a yard sale for $1 and a couple of months later it sold for $155! The front was embossed I will Try Norwich University and the back was embossed Centennial Stairs. I did some research and found out it was made in 1919 and was from Norwich University in Virginia. Does anybody think I could have sold this stein for more? Thanks!

Im impressed you got that much im not a stein expert but ive never had much luck with this style stein. a $150 profit is a great profit id be happy with that and if there was a little meat left on the bone let that person share in the wealth also.
