Vintage German beer stein and plaque.  The beer stein features cobalt blue salt glaze with porcelain and pewter lid, heraldic shield / crest with the text: Hud ware er nicht, ja was dann! / Der Durst ist ein grosser Tyran.  Loosely translated to he wasn't, well then what! / Thirst is a great tyrant.

The dish / medallion / plaque  is made of pewter and features the four F logo with ribbon and wreath accent and portrait of Dr. Friedrich Ludwig Jahn (1778-1852).  Text reads: Gut Heil / Einig / Mutig / Kraftig / Treu.  Good Hail / United / Courageous / Strong / Faithful.

Four F or 4F — a symbol of the German gymnastic or athletic society; the Fs are flipped in a pattern that puts all their corners together making a cross shape; 4F stands for Frisch, Fromm, Froh, Frei, meaning alert, devout, joyful, free.
