This stein was created to honor those who are serving and have served in the U.S. Armored Forces; their patriotism, discipline and self-sacrifice has not gone unnoticed. The body of the stein is a smooth, black glazed, high quality stoneware decorated with a platinum f the U.S. Armored Forces insignia. The design is based on the triangular coat-of-arms of the American WWII Tank Corps. Inside the triangle is a modified version of the insignia of the former Seventh Cavalry Brigade (Mechanized), the predecessors of the Old Ironsides. Different textures in the three sections of the triangle replace the bright colors of the insignia. Along the bottom in bold letters are the words U.S. ARMORED. Rows of raised stars decorate the ornamental pewter lid and fixed to the top is an intricately detailed pewter figurine of the Sherman tank (1942). A pewter version of the U.S. eagle crest serves as the thumblift for this noble stein. Limited edition of 5,000 individually numbered pieces.
