Early Trademarks & Old Molds (TMK-1 & TMK-2)

Welcome to the Early Trademarks Collection. This highly specialized vault features the most historically significant vintage Hummel figurines, specifically focusing on the exceptionally rare Crown Mark (TMK-1) and Full Bee (TMK-2) eras of the Goebel factory.

As the "Holy Grail" for serious collectors, these early production pieces represent the dawn of Sister Maria Innocentia Hummel's legacy. Figurines bearing the TMK-1 and TMK-2 stamps were crafted between the mid-1930s and late 1950s, boasting the original mold designs of master sculptors like Arthur Moeller and Reinhold Unger. Because these early molds showcase incredibly deep, hand-painted brushstrokes and vibrant, old-world color palettes that differ from later productions, they command immediate respect. We recommend giving these historically significant treasures a place of honor, beautifully illuminated inside a dedicated glass curio cabinet or showcased securely on a prominent study bookshelf.

Given their age and extreme rarity, our estate curation process for these specific eras is incredibly strict. Every early trademark piece is rigorously authenticated to ensure you receive a pristine piece of Goebel history, completely backed by our 100% Satisfaction & Authenticity Guarantee.
