Height: 5 inches
Width: 7 inches

Features:
Collectible Value: These bookends are part of the Goebel M.I. Hummel collection, making them a valuable addition to any Hummel or figurine collection.
Design: Handpainted with exquisite detail, showcasing the classic Hummel style.
Origins: Produced in the 1960s, these pieces reflect the craftsmanship of the era.
Story of it:This piece is one half of a bookend set that was created by adapting the "Little Goat Herder" figurines (HUM 200) and mounting them onto a wooden base with a slatted fence that serves as a book rest. The identification marks and trademark are placed on the wooden base because the figurine's base is concealed. This modified version of the figurine first appeared around 1965 and was priced at $26.50 for the set, known as HUM 250 A&B. Typically, these bookends are found with trademark designs ranging from TMK3 to TMK6. However, there is a possibility of encountering an earlier TMK2 mark due to unique cases within Goebel's productions. Goebel marked these items as "temporarily withdrawn" (TW) from production on December 31, 1989, with no specified date for reinstatement. Historical records reveal that these bookends were crafted by a group of modelers in 1960 and were first made available in the U.S. market in 1964.
