By colleen garside on Saturday, January 20, 2007 - 11:07 pm:I have a hummel lamp, #223, To Market. I believe it is a vee over gee, which I know means it is 1972-1979 vintage. I have researched different internet sites that price it from $300 (in 1997) to over $1000 at an internet seller. The lamp is in good shape, but the shade isn't the greatest. All the hummel/goebel marking are there. Any guess as to what this lamp might be worth? Thanks for your time.

By angiekort on Saturday, June 17, 2006 - 12:12 am:Hummel Wayside Harmony #111 3/0 in excellent condition. Figurine is 3 3/4" tall. it is different even from most i've seen. it isn't shiny like all the others more of a matte finish, he has on yellow socks it doen't say w. germany it just have germany and they boys eyes don't look at the bird, they follow you instead. the colors are as bright as the newer ones, it also has a hand painted no. six in upper right hand corner. the v and bee are not of ink the copywrite and dw.goebel are blue ink and germany is in black ink, the 111 3/0 are pressed in too not with ink either. just wondering if it is the same as the others or if it is a little older.

Most appraisers need to look at the item rather than depend on a verbal description. There are so many variables that need to be checked. If your description of the mark is what you mentioned, it was used 1950-1959...right after WWII. "Culprits" and "Out of Danger" have always been paired by Goebel. The usual selling trends for these in perfect condition is $400.00 to $500.00 each, however you can usually find them much less. You might watch Ebay or some of the internet sellers.

The porcelain part is 9 inches tall, however the lamp without a bulb and without the original shade on them, they are 12 inches tall. Can you tell me anything, and possible value?
Thank-you so very much for your time. These lamps were bought in Germany during WW2.

Chimney Sweep (Mold No. 12) is a very popular Hummel...and also manufactured in large quantities. It originally was drawn in 1935. Its value depends on the issue...there were 14 different productions and the selling trend could range from about $100 to $600. You would need to find an appraiser near you to check the marks and size to tell you the exact value. Go to our national database (http://www.isa-appraisers.org/ISA_form.html), enter your city or first 3 number of your zip code, or state. Find and contact an appraiser near. The appraiser you contact will be glad to discuss their fee with you.
Thank you for contacting ISA
