TRADEMARK - TMK - 1
NUMBERED and INCISED: #152
with HAND WRITTEN \"A\" by MASTER SCULPTOR
\"M. J. HUMMEL\" SIGNATURE
NEW INFORMATION 01/16/2017:
The 152 was first sculpted in 1942. The black painters mark (A) is there so the Master Painter could draw their pay, and appears on post WW2 pieces. The sanded bottom is a definite post WW2. This is a definite mid 1948 to late 1949 HUMMEL because of the paint and because of the hand painted umbrella. The lack of a Crown TM also dates this to the time frame.Someone who knows about Hummels sent me this information so I thought I would share class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"tab-stops:45.0pt\">I HAVE A HUMMEL FOR SALE THAT IS IN PRISTINE CONDITION. IT IS ANAUTHENTIC HUMMEL, AS YOU WILL SEE FROM THE PICTURES AND IS NUMBERED “152”. IT IS THE “UMBRELLA BOY”. PICTURES OF THE CLOSE UPS ARE AS BEST AS ICAN GET THEM. THIS M. I. HUMMEL \"UMBRELLA BOY\" IS HAND CRAFTED ANDHAND PAINTED. IT ALSO HAS THE AUTHENTICSIGNATURE AT THE BOTTOM OF THE BOY’s PANTS AT THE BOTTOM OF THE UMBRELLA.HUMMELS ARE ITEMS THAT ARE WELLSOUGHT AFTER AND PASSED DOWN THROUGH GENERATIONS. THE COMPANY STARTED SELLING IN 1935 AND THEYARE MADE OUT OF FINE BISQUE OR UNGLAZED PORCELAIN BY SKILLED ARTISTS AT GOEBELIN GERMANY. IT SEEMS THE VALUE ONLYINCREASES WITH AGE, SIZE AND IF PRODUCED IN A LIMITED NUMBER. MANY DESIGNS OF THE HUMMEL FIGURINES WEREMADE IN VARYING SIZES AND HAVE BECOME RARE AS THEY WERE MADE ONLY FOR A LIMITEDTIME.
THIS PARTICULAR HUMMEL FIGURE ISFROM A SERIES OF DIFFERENT SIZES. THISSIZE IS THE LARGEST SIZE AT 8” AND I BELIEVE THE HAND WRITTEN LETTER “A” SIGNIFIES WHO THE MASTER SCULPTOR WAS IN ORDER TO GET PAID. ALSO, THE NUMBER ON THE BOTTOMMAKES A DIFFERENCE AS TO IT’s VALUE AS IT IS INCIZED AND WITHOUT THE GOEBEL MARK THAT YOU SEE IN EDITIONS FROM THE 1970\'S ON.THIS IS ALSO A MORE VALUABLE HUMMEL SINCE IT IS SOUGHT AFTER BY MANYPEOPLE AND IS HARD TO COME BY AT THIS SIZE, AGE AND AS GOOD CONDITION AS MYHUMMEL IS.
FROM WHAT I HAVE RESEARCHED THIS WAS ORIGINALLYMOLDED BY A MASTER SCULPTOR AROUND THE 1940”s, AND THE MARK “152” MUST BE INCISED,AS IT IS HERE WITH THIS PARTICULAR HUMMEL.THE SMALL HOLE IN THE BOTTOM WAS CREATED SO THAT THE PIECE WOULD NOTBREAK WHEN BAKING, OR USING THE INDUSTRY TERM “FIRED”. OTHER LESS VALUABLE HUMMELS WILL NOT HAVETHIS HOLE OR IN A DIFFERENT PLACE, WHICH MAKES THIS HUMMEL MUCH MORE HARDER TOFIND AND VALUABLE.
ON THIS PARTICULAR HUMMEL, THERE IS NO “TMK” MARK BUTTHE MARK IS THE NUMBER “152” THAT IS \"INCISED\" IN THE BOTTOM OF THE FIGURINE IS THE TRADEMARK TMK - 1. FROM WHAT I HAVE READ EVEN THOUGH NO VISIBLETRADEMARK IS SEEN ON THE BOTTOM, IT IS KNOWN TO BE A CROWN WITH ONLY THE “152”MARK INCISED. THESE GOEBEL M. I. HUMMEL FIGURINES ARE AN EXCEPTIONALLYRARE VINTAGE WITHOUT THE WWII – ERA “CROWN” OR ANY GOEBEL TRADEMARK. THIS MEANSTHAT IT WAS FROM A MOLD MADE IN THE 1940’s OR MADE IN THE 1940’s POSSIBLY EARLIER.
MY HUMMEL DOES HAVE THE “M. J.HUMMEL” SIGNED AT THE BOTTOM OF THE BOY’S PANTS IN THE BACK JUST UNDER THEUMBRELLA, A PICTURE IS INCLUDED.
ANOTHER REASON IT IS MOREVALUABLE IS BECAUSE THE UMBRELLY HANDLE IS PLACED ON THE BOY’s “RIGHT” FOOT AND WITH THE NEWER MODELS IT’SPLACEMENT HAS MOVED TO THE BOY’S LEFT FOOT.
IT IS MODELED BYA MASTER SCULPTOR THE 1940\'s WITH THE APPROXIMATE AGE OF MAKE BEING 1948 OR 1949, BECAUSE OF THE REASONS STATED ABOVE.
I HAVE DONE MY HOMEWORK AND PRICEDTHIS ITEM ACCORDINGLY, AND AT A GOOD PRICE.YOU WILL SEE THESE SELL FOR MORE THAN WHAT I AM ASKING SINCE IT IS ALARGER SIZE AT 8” TALL AND A LARGER FIGURINE FROM A SERIES THAT MADE SMALLERONES. ALSO, IT IS MORE DESIRED BEING AN ACTUAL FIGURINE FROM THE 1940\'s.
I HAVE DESCRIBED AND GIVENINFORMATION ABOUT THIS HUMMEL FIGURINE TO THE BEST OF MY ABILITIES AND BELIEVEIT TO BE TRUE. I AM NOT A DEALER JUSTSELLING OFF ITEMS FOR MY MOM THAT SHE NO LONGER WANTS or NEEDS AT 89 YEARS OLD.
This was a gift to my Mom and Dad and they have had it since I was a child, so over 45 years at the least and it is in the same condition that they received it in. Before that it belonged to a friend of ours and was given to my Mom and Dad because they admired it so much. We did have it insured under their homeowners policy as a line item at $3,599.00 with other valuable items with a rider/umbrella clause/addendum (not sure what they call it), with pictures sent to the insurance agent.
