Mearto specialist

Hi Donna, Thank you for contacting Mearto with your appraisal inquiry. We get a LOT of inquiries about Hummel figurines; while they have an inherent charm and were highly desirable among collectors in the 1950s-1970s, they have not retained the same interest among collectors today and there are far more on the market than there are buyers - it's a case of supply far outstripping demand. As a result, the values individual Hummel figures currently bring at auction (which are the values Mearto provides) are fairly low - most bring between $10-30 at auction and MOST auction houses will sell several Hummel figures together in a group, to minimize costs to the seller. Based on the photos and information provided, and subject to examination, this is: A Hummel painted porcelain collectible "Home From Market" figurine Made by the Goebels factory, West Germany, bearing the "three-line Bee mark" dating to 1963/64-1972 Model # 198 4 3/4 inches high, diameter of base 2 inches PROVENANCE: inherited $15-25* *represents a fair-market value for auction purposes; retail or asking price may vary.
