Model 4 - This is a Freising model number 4, but it is marked with the logo of "A. Wahnschaffe." The entire logo reads: "A. Wahnschaffe königl.(ich) bayer.(ischer) Hoflieferant Nürnberg." This tells us that A. Wahnschaffe was located in Nürnberg and that he was "Purveyer to the Royal Bavarian Court." According to a tourist guidebook ca.1905, the company was located at Josephsplatz 18 and they dealt in "Retail and wholesale toys, carvings from the Bavarian highland, portfolios, fancy goods and souvenirs of Nürnberg. This is the fourth company the Freising factory apparently produced for in addition to their own production.

This stein, Freising #4, is the only known example of this style featuring Nurnberg and is the companion stein to Freising/HR #3 which features Munich. This stein and the one below are the only two "A. WAHNSCHAFFE" marked pieces reported to date.
