Hi Margaret, Thank you for contacting Mearto with your appraisal inquiry. Hummel figures were incredibly popular among collectors in the 1950s-1990s and there are a lot of them on the market, unfortunately with less demand than supply so it is quite rare for individual pieces to be worth more than $5-50 each, at auction. The value can occasionally be boosted if the piece retains its original factory packaging. Yours is a nice early example Based on the photos and information provided, and subject to examination, this is: A vintage Hummel hand-painted porcelain "Wayside Harmony" collectible figurine Made by W. Goebels, Germany, withTMK-2 mark in use from 1950-1955 featuring a child seated on a fence with a singing bird, marked underneath and impressed 111 3/0 6F 8 cm (3-1/8 inches) high CONDITION: appears to be in good condition PROVENANCE: acquired in Berlin in the 1950s, thence by inheritance $30-50* *represents a fair-market value for auction purposes; retail or asking price may vary. Please let us know if you have additional items to appraise, and thank you again for using Mearto.
