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.

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.
- Photograph the stick and feather from both sides.
Warnings
- Check walking stick, feather, fingers, and base.
- Accessory repairs are meaningful deductions.
- 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 use Merry Wanderer comps just because both are walking figures.
