According to "Hummel Figurines and Plates: Identification and Price Guide" by Carl F. Luckey (12th edition), this little girl has had several names. Once known as “Primer Girl” and “Little Scholar,” this adorable “School Girl,” as she is known today, was designed by Master Sculptor Arthur Moeller in 1937 for the Goebel factory.

Porcelain:By Maker Or Type:M I Hummel Figurines By Goebel
The crown mark, used from 1934-1950, was first incised, then stamped, then changed from the crown over William Goebel’s initials, to a smaller stamped crown over his last name. The last incarnation is also known as the “Wide Ducal Crown Mark” or “Narrow Crown” and was used until 1950. Between 1946 and 1948, a time when World War II had ended and the American occupational forces allowed exportation again, the pieces were marked with various stamps to show it was made in Occupied Germany. In 1948, ...

The figurine I am selling is one of the earlier designs, as the boy is looking further over his shoulder than later versions of him. This adorable, aged Hummel is in excellent condition, and has no repairs, cracks, nicks, paint loss, or crazing. It does have minor issues on ...
