No idea on the origin but, it is a neat looking piece! Talking about German beers brought something to mind that some here may not know. Dos Equis and Corona are both originally German beers. During one of the world wars, many Germans fled to Mexico to escape the cruelties of war and started their own beer companies in Mexico and marketed it as mexican beer since being German wasn't the most popular thing to be in those days. I believe there's actually a third Mexican beer company whose origins started in Germany but, I can't recall the name right now.
