It's the perfect Father's Day gift for a Carnes man — there is only one of these in stock.
The pewter lid features wonderful scrolls and leaves, with "W. Germany" embossed on the mechanism. Many Irish settlers with the surname Carnes came to America in the 17th and 18th centuries — among them John Carnes, who arrived in Boston in 1649, and Jacob Carnes, who arrived in Pennsylvania in 1782. In the early 19th century a great wave of Irish families followed, many bearing the Carnes name. If you're one of their proud descendants, this stein belongs in your home.
