TMK context

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.

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.
- State the large suffix and exact height in the listing.
Warnings
- Inspect staff, lamb details, fingers, and base.
- Large pieces need extra packing cost reflected in net 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.
- Nativity shepherd accessories are not valid comps.
