A Hardworking Little Cobbler

Bring a wonderful touch of childhood charm and spectacular Bavarian artistry to your collection with this highly sought-after Goebel Hummel figurine, "Boots" (Model #143/I)! Known beautifully in German as Schuhmacher (Shoemaker), this delightful vintage collectible was brilliantly modeled by the renowned master sculptor Arthur Moeller in 1940 and officially retired in 1998. It captures an incredibly sweet scene, featuring an adorable young boy dressed in a blue work apron over a white shirt and brown trousers. He is diligently carrying a heavy pair of studded black boots tucked under one arm, while holding a smart pair of brown heeled shoes in his other hand! 👦🏼🥾👞✨

Exquisite Craftsmanship & Quality: Measuring an impressive 6-3/4" tall, this large version figure is a breathtaking showcase of Goebel's famed dedication to fine porcelain artistry. The meticulous hand-painted brushstrokes highlighting his sweet, rosy cheeks, the expertly sculpted, sweeping folds of his blue apron, the intricate hobnail studs on the boot soles, and the wonderfully soft, matte color palettes highlight incredible German craftsmanship! As seen in the pictures, it is in MINT condition with absolutely no chips, cracks, crazing, or professional repairs. ✨ Proudly display this hardworking little helper safely resting as a charming accent piece on a classic oak entryway table, or on a brightly lit mudroom shelf!
