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.

TMK-5+ Last bee or newer Goebel/Hummel mark 1972-2009+

Later production is common; price against completed sold comps rather than older guide-book highs.

Condition examples

Mint, no visible wear

$64 - $245

No chips, crazing, repairs, stains, or paint loss visible under bright light.

Good estate-sale condition

$46 - $174

Minor crazing, dust, or small finish rubs, but no obvious damage.

Damaged or missing pieces

$18 - $68

Broken flowers, missing accessories, cracks, or heavy chips move the piece toward parts value.

Examples use the first listed TMK era for this model as a worksheet starting point. Re-run the homepage checker when the underside mark, box status, or selling urgency differs.

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.
  • Include a clear underside photo because mark era drives much of the value.

Warnings

  • Check hands, face, and base.
  • Older examples may show crazing that should be disclosed.
  • 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.
  • Do not compare to larger religious Hummel groups.
