Goebel M.I. Hummel # 487 "Let's Tell The World" New Open Box! Century Collection

Description: HUM 487 "Let's Tell The World" - TMK-6 Height 10.5" Tall X 7.875" Wide Some of the most popular and very collectible M.I. Hummel figurines are the larger pieces that Goebel produced over the years. One excellent example of these large figurines is Hummel "Let's Tell The World, #487. It was the fifth figurine issued in the M.I. Hummel Century Collection Series of limited edition figurines and clocks. "Let's Tell The World" was first released in the U.S. market in 1990 and was limited to a single year of production in the Twentieth Century. It was modeled by master sculptor Gerhard Skrobek in 1987, based on the original art of Sister Maria Innocentia Hummel. It measures 10-1/2" tall and bears the TMK-6 trademark. This one actually exceeds the catalog's listed width (7") by nearly a full inch (.875"). It also has an incised 1988 copyright date. A circular inscription applied by blue decal reads: "M.I. Hummel CENTURY COLLECTION 1990 XX" and "1935-1990 55 Years of M.I. Hummel Figurines" in a straight line through the circle. "LET'S TELL THE WORLD" is centered underneath the circular decal. The official issue price was $875 in 1990. This is a closed edition (CE). See below for the specifications: New Open Box - Hummel was stored in attic with dozens of other hummels.
