This is the only example I have ever seen  of a stoneware mug from the William Gerst Brewing Company in Nashville Tennessee.  I suspect that it is missing from most Gerst collections.  It measures four and a half plus inches.  There is a hair line fracture that runs from the lip to the logo.  There are a couple other lines but are not rough to the touch.  There are some small defects that are common to such stoneware.  Please views all the scans.  Yes, I know this is expensive but you don't know what I had to pay for it. Sorry, no paypal on this item but payment plans are accepted.
