Goebel Co-Boy Figurine - Porz the Mushroom Expert 1970

This Goebel CoBoy vintage collectible figurine is named Porz the Mushroom Expert and was made by Goebel Germany. He has a basket of mushrooms. He is numbered 511, has the Goebel trademark TMK6, is dated 1970, and is 7-1/4" tall. He comes complete with its original story card. Co-Boys are perfect examples of Goebel collectibles.

This Goebel figurine is from my personal collection of Goebel porcelain and is in very good condition. He is not faded and has a clear name tag. There are no chips, cracks, paint flaws, or repairs.

Here is the story of Porz. Porz is the famous mushroom expert of Co-Boys Village. Why does a small community like the Co-Boys Village need a mushroom expert? Because mushrooms are the favorite food of all Co-Boys. People in Co-Boys Village start eating mushrooms as children and eat it all their lives. Not knowing how to tell a poisonous mushroom from a nonpoisonous mushroom, they need an expert to help them. Everyday Porz goes to the market Square to sell his mushrooms. He is famous for the size of the mushrooms he cultivates, and his competition would like to learn the secret of how he grows such large mushrooms. But each night as Porz counts his sales receipts, he asks his wife, "Isn't it wonderful that I inherited grandmother's book on how to grow mushrooms?"
