How Much Are Hummel Figurines Worth?
Most common Hummel figurines are worth between $15 and $75. However, value is concentrated in specific rare, early, or large models, which can be worth hundreds or even thousands of dollars. The exact value depends entirely on the specific model number, trademark (TMK), size, and condition, making a detailed look essential.
What hummel figurines actually sold for
Real completed sales on eBay in the US — what buyers paid, not what sellers are asking. Each sale is checked to be the exact item; graded copies, lots, parts and Best Offer sales (where eBay hides the real price) are left out. Updated October 16, 2026 · 86 sales checked.
"Typical sale" is the median. "Most sold between" is the middle of the market — the middle 70% of sales when there are six or more, otherwise the lowest to the highest. Your item's condition, completeness and exact version move it inside — or outside — that range, so scan yours for its own number — or see how to check eBay sold prices yourself.

What decides the value of hummel figurines
Trademark (TMK)
The single most important factor is the trademark on the bottom, which identifies the production era. Early marks like the 'Crown Mark' (TMK-1, 1935-1949) and 'Full Bee' (TMK-2, 1950-1955) are the most valuable and can make a piece worth 5 to 20 times more than the same model with a later mark.
Model & Size
Specific model numbers (HUM numbers) are in high demand. Larger, more complex group scenes like 'Adventure Bound' (#347) or 'Ring Around the Rosie' (#348) are consistently valuable. Additionally, oversized versions of common models, like the large 'Apple Tree Boy' (#142/X) and 'Apple Tree Girl' (#141/X), are exceptionally rare and valuable.
Condition
Pristine condition is crucial for value. Collectors look for pieces with no chips, cracks, crazing (fine web-like lines in the glaze), or repairs. Faded colors or paint loss will also significantly decrease the value. An item in mint condition with its original box is always preferred.
Rarity & Limited Editions
Figurines with short production runs, international editions made for specific markets, or special commemorative editions are often rarer and more valuable. Some models, like 'Signs of Spring', were produced in very low quantities and can fetch thousands.

Hummel Figurines — FAQ
Are Hummel figurines worth anything anymore?
Yes, but the market has changed. While the mass-market boom of the 1970s-90s is over, a dedicated collector base still exists for rare and early pieces. Most common Hummels have modest value ($15-$75), but the right ones are still worth significant money.
How do I identify my Hummel figurine?
Look at the bottom of the base. You should find an incised M.I. Hummel signature, a model number (e.g., 'HUM 142'), and a stamped trademark logo (like a crown or a bee inside a V). These markings are key to identifying the exact model and production date. To find its current market value, you can scan your figurine with the FlipTip app to instantly identify the model and compare recent sold prices.
What makes a Hummel figurine valuable?
Value is a combination of an early trademark (TMK-1 and TMK-2 are best), a desirable or rare model number, large size, and flawless condition. Complex group scenes and limited production runs also command higher prices. A single one of these factors can increase value, but having several (e.g., a rare model with a TMK-1 mark in mint condition) is what leads to the highest prices.
