Clarification

Hello, just to clarify, this figurine is a GOEBEL, not a Hummel as I thought earlier on. The trademark is the first, with the initials WG, nothing about Sister Hummel, who designed the later figurines in partnership with William Goebel.

Still searching!

Someone has the same figurine!

I'm so hyped that someone else has the same figurine as mine. Unfortunately I have not been here to post much after the initial blog assembly. This, due to not much response and my losing faith in finding out more. I've been to a few antique "experts" but they had never seen one either. So I didn't get any info from them either. Someone responded way back in April. Being new at blogging as well, I didn't check my comments because I didn't have my settings to notify me, so I didn't see that important post until now. Hopefully this kind person will email me. I'm still in search of information on this figurine.

Until next time!

William Goebel Rare Bookend Set

RARE GOEBEL SHEPHERD GIRL FIGURINE

This is what I believe to be a rare Goebel porcelain piece.

It's very likely that this shepherd girl is one half of a limited set of Goebel bookends - hence the flat back. I have yet to find either the male or female other half of this set anywhere in books, online or off, although I've seen a few ceramic WG bookends from the 1930's online.

This original near mint figurine may the only one left in the world, and have been advised that it is a museum piece.

In the charts below, there is conflict with the mark dates.

If anyone would like to contribute anything, you are welcome.

I am enthused at finding out more.

Cheers

This Goebel May Be 75?

I learned that the rarest and most valuable Goebels are the ones that are blue eyed. There are only a handful (if that) blue eyed pieces ever made. I also found out more recently from an online post, that the markings this Goebel has, represents the trademark used between 1923 (pre-production days) and 1939, not 1935-1949, as in the TM charts in my blog indicate.
