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.
