All pictures and descriptions are the copyrighted property of TheBargainPrincess. Please do not use my text or my images without prior permission. M.I. HUMMEL COLLECTIBLE FIGURINE Hummel figurines are designed based on drawings done by Sister Maria Innocenza Hummel. Franz Goebel, founder of the Goebel Company that produced porcelain figurines saw the drawings of Sister Maria and with much effort, persuaded her to allow her two-dimensional drawings to become three-dimensional statues. Her images capture the beauty of innocence of children in activities that they love. Since first introduced in 1935, Hummels have become valuable collectibles and heirlooms.
