All Hummel figurines were produced at the original factory in Rödental, Germany, the only authorized producer of M.I. Hummel figurines in the world. Each figurine meets with the time-honored traditions and quality established by Sister Maria Innocentia Hummel. No detail has been overlooked. The famed M.I. Hummel incised signature also appears on each figurine as your assurance of authenticity.
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *\"Joyful\" is Hum-53 and measures about 3\" x 2½\" at the base x 4\" high. It once had the TMK-2 mark. It was made in the 1950\'s.
This figurine, designed by Master Sculptor Reinhold Unger in 1936, was once known as \"Banjo Betty\".
There are major size variations. As the figure emerged from the Crown Mark (TMK-1) era and transitioned into the Full Bee (TMK-2) period, it began to grow larger . Both the normal sizes and the larger variations appeared during the Full Bee period, and by the time the transition to the Stylized Bee (TMK-3) was finished, it was back to the normal 4\" basic size. the oversize pieces consistently bring a higher price than the normal size pieces. They are valued about 20% to 25% more than the normal size. This piece was temporarily withdrawn from production in 1999.
This piece is in excellent condition.
