- Identify Your Hummel By Number
- 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.

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.
I have a Hummel 198 2/0 Home From Market that has a different Markings than the TMK 1 – 8. It shows the copyright symbol © on the left and above the G in Goebel. if that wasn’t there it would be a TMK 5. Could you help me understand why this is so? Thank you Mary.
I have a Hummel 111 Wayside Harmony that resembles TMK6 but has an added copyright symbol to the right of the G. is this a real mark?
Thank you, Mark

I have Hummel number 185 Accordion boy and Hummel number 240 Little Drummer Boy that I cannot find on the price guide.
I have identified the year of manufacturer and the fact that they were all stamp signed.
How do I find their fair market value?

I have what looks like a Hummel figurine but cannot find a number or a mark. I know that it is old because of where it came from. It is a little mail boy with a mail pouch around his shoulder. He is holding a letter up and a little dog is sitting beside him with what looks like a package in his mouth. the mail boy has a cap on with a green jacket, brown shorts and brown shoes.
I have a figurine that looks like a Hummel but has no markings on it like my other Hummel figurines. It is a girl with blonde hair and orange bonnet standing next to a wood post and holding a basket. Does this sound like an original Hummel?
Could you please help me identify these for a friend? They are labeled what appears to be “S 141/0 …S141/1…etc. there are 6 in total and I have pictures. Thank You.
I am looking at a Hummel with a TMK that I cannot locate on any list of Trademarks, etc. It is a missing Bee mark but unlike any on the charts. Does that make it a knock-off?

Before German unification, no Bee, but the © is on the left of Goebel, not the Right. So what do I have? Thank you, Joe
@Joe, Have a look at our TMK page here: https://www.antique-hq.com/find-out-the-value-of-your-hummel-figurine-322/
The 1979-1990 TMK did not use the bee I believe this maybe the TMK your figurine has on it.
Hi, I recently acquired a Hummel Decanter with the incised Crown Mark on the bottom. While there’s number a “24” on it, it doesn’t match my Hummel book, and no where in the book are there any decanters. I can send pictures if you’d like. Hopefully I found an ultra rare one!
I have boy with walking stick bass fiddle on his back .Base has M.I.Hummel bottom has Germany, bee above v a sort of crown over wrinkled wing and the #89/1
@ Bob, I believe the trademark you described is a TMK 3 that was used between 1969 and 1972 the crown should be a little blue decal. The Hummel is called Little Cellist and the /1 means you have the 6″ model. If this is a TMK-3 you are looking at around $100-125 USD for this figurine.
