Hi Mike, Thank you for contacting Mearto with your appraisal inquiry. You may be correct about the rarity of this font; I found a similar example having been sold for $700 in 2021 at an auction in Florida, but that was from the collection of a famous and discerning Hummel collector which may have helped boost the price a bit. https://www.liveauctioneers.com/item/95317697_rare-hummel-holy-water-font-77-tmk1 Based on the photos and information provided, and subject to examination, this is: A vintage Hummel Holy Water Font with cross and doves Modeled by Reinhold Unger in 1937. TMK-1, Hum 77. Made as samples only; only 10 known examples in existence per Miller 7th edition. 6 1/2 inches high by 2 3/4 inches wide CONDITION: appears to be in good condition PROVENANCE: acquired at a garage sale $500-700* *represents a fair-market value for auction purposes; retail or asking price may vary.
