Goebel and Hummel Trademarks
Goebel Germany has made many figurines, plates, and bells over the
years. One of their most famous is their line of Goebel Hummel figurines. The word "Hummel"
means bumblebee. I am selling my personal collection of
Goebel Co-Boys and a duplicate Dolly Dingle figurine named
Don Juan.
To determine if a Goebel collectible is a genuine Goebel or Hummel figurine, look for the definitive
marks of identification. Each piece has a mold number incised on the bottom and
an official Goebel stamp or trademark on the underside. While the Hummel trademark has
changed over the years, each authentic M. I. Hummel figurine has a Goebel stamp
on its underside. Hummel and Goebel figurines are highly sought after by collectors
with several models valued at hundreds, even thousands, of dollars per piece.
