Gebrüder Dorfner G.m.b.H. & Co.14-2-19-1A not unusual 1 litre stein, with decoration commemorating results in a shooting competition.
Gebrüder Dorfner G.m.b.H. & Co.11-3"Souvenir of Dartmouth College". This 0.4Ltr stein  would have been an export piece,  and was made to order for Charles H. Dudley Inc.  There is provenance dating it to 1926.
Gebrüder Dorfner G.m.b.H. & Co. 11-4This "Made in Germany" ink stamp appears to be identical in configuration to the Ernst Dorfner mark. However since Ernst Dorfner sold out "Lock, Stock & Barrel" to Gebrüder Dorfner, I see no problem with Gebrüder Dorfner using this mark after 1913.
