TMK context
TMK-1 Crown mark 1935-1949
Early crown marks can bring a premium when the HUM number, glaze, and condition also check out.
TMK-2 Full bee 1950-1959
Full bee pieces are widely researched and can outperform later marks for the same mold.
TMK-3 Stylized bee 1957-1964
A transitional early mark with stronger demand than most 1970s and later examples.
TMK-4 Three-line mark 1964-1972
Usually a modest adjustment unless paired with a scarce mold or large size.
Condition examples

Seller notes
- Photograph the HUM number, trademark mark, any paper label, and all damage before pricing.
- Search sold comps with the exact HUM number plus the common title, then adjust for TMK and condition.
- Mention if the matching 14/A is absent so buyers do not assume a pair.
Warnings
- Check book edges, hair bow, fingers, and base.
- Pairing condition should be consistent for stronger value.
- Do not treat this seed range as an appraisal or a guaranteed sale price.
- Verify size variants because downsized, larger, and paired versions can price very differently.
- Complete-pair values do not transfer directly to a single bookend.
