How to Identify Your Hummel Figurine



Last updated: January 2, 2013 by Ivy

In this article you will find 2 list to help you identify your Hummel figurines.

  1. Identify Your Hummel By Number
  2. Identify Your Hummel By Name

The one of the most common question I am asked is:

How can I identify what Hummel I have so I can find the value of my Hummel?

There are a few ways to identify which Hummel figurine you have.

  • By the Hummel number
  • By the Hummel name
  • Visually – If you do not know the Hummel number or name.

How to Identify Your Hummel Figurine Using the Hummel Number.

The easiest way to identify which Hummel you own is by the Hummel number on the bottom of the figurine.

You can read my guide on Understanding the Hummel Numbering System for more information on how to find the Hummel number and what it means.

Each Hummel figurine will have a Hummel number, this is the model number assigned by Goebel.

This PDF file has all the Hummel figurines list by Hummel number and corresponding name. You can use this to quickly search for the name of your Hummel.

How to Identify Your Hummel Figurine By Name.

In some cases you may not have access to the Hummel number but you may know the Name of the Hummel figurine. Since almost anything to do with Hummels uses the Hummel number and not the name it is important to have the number for reference.

This PDF file has all the Hummel figurines list by Name with their corresponding Hummel number. You can use this to quickly search for the Hummel number of your Hummel.

Hummel Trademark

Another important piece of information you need to value your Hummel figurine is the trademark.

The trademarks is used to date the figurine. Since a Hummel’s value can dramatically differ from trademark to trademark it is extremely important you understand which trademark your Hummel is.

    I have a figurine that I’m trying to identify. It looks very much like a Hummel, but the only marking on it is what looks like ” B Hummel” on the base of the figurine. Its the figure of a boy holding a book with the other hand in the pocket of a jacket with small flowers painted on it. The boy is wearing brown slippers that are much to large. I have a picture of the marking and figurine if needed to identify.
