"School Boys" Goebel Hummel Figurine #170/I - Three Boys Learning Schoolwork!

A Remarkable Scene of Scholarly Ambition

The "School Boys" (#170/I) is a standout example of the intricate, multi-character designs that have made Goebel Hummel world-famous. This "Super Cute" figurine depicts three young students huddled together, earnestly reviewing their lessons on a slate board. Standing at a LARGE and impressive 7-1/2 inches tall, the "I" size is the more substantial version of this mold, offering a level of depth and presence that is rare to find. The sculptural complexity—from the boys' individual expressions to the details of their traditional Bavarian school attire—makes this one of the most visually engaging pieces in the entire Hummel catalog.

Pristine Collector’s Condition with Vibrant Artistry

This #170/I specimen is in EXCELLENT condition, meticulously vetted to ensure there are no chips, cracks, or professional repairs. The hand-painted finish remains as nice and vibrant as ever, showcasing the warm, earthy tones and crisp details that identify it as an authentic Goebel original from Germany. Because large-scale figurines like this were more expensive and produced in smaller quantities than the miniatures, finding one in such flawless, display-ready condition is an exceptional opportunity for a serious collector. It carries the official Goebel backstamp and the incised signature of Sister Maria Innocentia Hummel on the base.

The Definitive Centerpiece for Your "Classic" and "Rare" Collections

The School Boys #170/I serves as a premier centerpiece for any Classic gallery. Because it features multiple characters and stands over 7 inches tall, it also qualifies as a foundational piece for a Rare or "Large Scale" display.

Whether you are looking for a prestigious gift for a retired educator or a dominant display piece for your own curio cabinet, this School Boys figurine brings a sense of nostalgia and world-class German craftsmanship to your home.
