Is This a real Hummel?
« on: March 17, 2015, 08:45:56 am »
Hi,
I bought this at an estate sale and thought it was a Hummel but noticed that there is the word "Loose" incised under the glaze.  Does anyone know what this is or if this is not a real Hummel.
Thanks for any information.

From what I see it is real and comes from a set of Goebel candle holders. As far as age of the piece I am not sure but that can definitely help your search.

Check this out... Probably at least 200 years old based on the amount of garbage that was in the dumpster around it.

The W for West Germany would place it after WWII but before the Berlin wall coming down.

From all guides I have found, the V with Bee and W Germany underneath places the piece made between 1960 - 1972.   

These should help!
