Ever since the closure of Schmid in 1995 there has been an increasing
interest in the company's collectibles and the values of certain
items especially the musical pieces continues to rise.
There
appears to be very little information available on the company
but their product range was varied and included several licensed
editions including Disney, Beatrix Potter and Thomas the Tank Engine.

Most interest from collectors is for the licensed Schmid collectibles notably
the Disney pieces.
Schmid produced mainly ceramic collectibles but some music
boxes were produced in plastic. The music boxes produced usually had some
form of motion often moving around a static base.

There are a growing number of collectors.
Until recently many items could be found fairly easily in shops. As more
Schmid dealers emerge it will be interesting to see how the market develops.
