What does this mean?

Dear Richard,
Thank you for contacting Mearto with your appraisal inquiry. Your porcelain Hummel figurine is titled "Going to Grandmas." Due to the damage on the bow, it would be considered to be in poor condition. The figurine is marked with two makers marks on the underside, the impressed Gobel Mark and the TMK2 or "First Bee" mark. Based on the presence of both marks, I would date your figurine to be from 1949-1950, the time in which the marks were in transition. Hummel figurines are based on the drawing of Sister Maria Innocentia Hummel (1909-1946). She was a German Franscian Nun who was studying art at the Academy of Applied Arts in Münich before becoming a nun in 1931. She taught at a school run by the convent and would spend her spare time drawing the children. Her drawings were first published as postcards, and in 1934, they were compiled into a book, "Das Hummel-Buch," where poems by Margarete Seemann accompanied her illustrations. These works brought her to the attention of Franz Gobel, who obtained the exclusive rights to produce porcelain figurines based on her work. Their popularity grew in the United States when returning soldiers bought the home. Based on recent price realizations, the fair market value for your figurine would be between 5 and 10 US dollars. If the piece was undamaged the fair market value would be between 50 and 100 US dollars.
Best Regards,
Morgan
