A Participating Chapter of Stein Collectors International |
 |
The Carolina Steiners has been charged with serving the needs of
stein collectors in North and South Carolina, Georgia, Virginia, and Tennessee.
Our chapter meets three times per year, on Saturdays. The typical meeting
includes steins for sale or trade between members, a main presentation (often by
a guest speaker), plenty of time for questions and answers, and a meal. Members
are also encouraged to bring a stein for a "show and tell" (or often,
"show and ask") session.
The topics chosen for the main presentation are intended to cover a wide
variety of interests within the stein collecting community, and foster
well-rounded stein knowledge among our members.
Presentations at our chapter meetings have included: Steins by
A.J. Thewalt, Mosaic steins by Villeroy and Boch, Steins by Mathias Girmscheid,
Early Westerwald reproductions by Gerz, Character steins by Schierholz, Steins
by Marzi & Remy, Steins created for Budweiser, Brewery sponsored character
steins, Steins with patriotic themes, Jugendstil steins, Steins of various
metals and materials, Heinrich Schlitt murals, Artwork on steins, Pewter
repairs, Types of lids and stein toppers, Insurance for antiques and
collectibles, etc., etc., etc.
We encourage potential members to join us at one of
our chapter meetings, enjoy the camaraderie, and perhaps share in a learning
experience.
Annual membership in the Carolina Steiners is available to all
active members of SCI at the rate of $15.00 per year, and includes our quarterly
newsletter, "The Stein Line".
