TMK-2 Full bee 1950-1959
Full bee pieces are widely researched and can outperform later marks for the same mold.

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.
- Mention whether Umbrella Girl is available because matched pairs can widen buyer interest.
Warnings
- Check the umbrella edge, handle, fingers, and base.
- Missing or repaired umbrella parts are major 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 compare small and large umbrella variants without adjusting the range.
