Hi Michelle, 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. Based on the photos and information provided, and subject to examination, this is: A vintage MI Hummel painted porcelain collectible "Latest News" figurine made by Wm Goebel, West Germany, bearing the underglaze blue TMK-3 / "Stylized Bee Mark" in use from 1960 to 1972. Depicting a young boy seated on a stool reading the Munchener Presse' back of square plinth incised "MJ Hummel." 4 inches high, 2 inches wide CONDITION: appears to be in good condition; value assumes no chips, cracks, repairs or losses. PROVENANCE: inherited $40-60* *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.
