As Ken said, lots of instruments from around 1900- are labeled Stainer but they're really just German shop instruments. I have a violin from my great grandfather which is also labeled Stainer but it was purchased in Germany from a shop new from around 1880.

Here are photos of the "Stainer" 1645, Absam bass.

As you can see, the level of quality in this bass is not exactly the same as your instrument. But that's okay.
