Plates

Plates are one of the most common items I get asked about. There are a few sets of annual plates, mini plate sets, mini plates and one off plates.

Annual plates

In 1971, Hummel produced its first annual plate. This plate diplected Hum 21 Heavenly Angel and was released to the factory workers to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the W. Goebel Firm. The plate was later made for retail sale. This first plate was so popular in the United Stated, it was decided that similar plates would be released annually from then on.
