Hello. I have a set of 5 Goebel Co-Boy gnomes. From w.germany. They all have signatures on the bottom. They all say "Well" with different numbers. Three of them say 1972 and two of them say 1970.

I've looked online and see these selling anywhere from $100-$200 each depending on the dealer. I am likely going to post them on ebay, but first figured I'd see if any collectors were out there who might be interested. :)

These were sent to me from my Grandmother and not packed very well. Unfortunately a few of them suffered damage. Two of them seem to be in near perfect condition, but three had various chips/breaks/cracks. Again, if you're a collector or have interest in buying and fixing the 3 damaged ones just let me know. I'm also open to selling these individually.

The 5 I have are:

John "The hunter" - Well 518 - half his gun broke off. Possibly fixable?
Brum "The Lawyer" - Well 512 - Owl's right ear chipped off in shipping.
Ed "The Wine Cellar Steward" - Well 521 - Seems near mint
Conny "The Night Watchman" - Well 520 - Doesn't appear to have anything wrong except for a very small chip at the base
Bob "The Bookworm" - Well 510 - In the worst shape. The entire base cracked in half. Possibly fixable?

Feel free to e-mail me if you're interested at all at pleasenocrazypeople@yahoo.com .

In the meantime I have posted this ad on my local craigslist in Seattle (with some pictures): http://seattle.craigslist.org/sno/clt/1189001446.html

And currently I have Ed on Ebay: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=170336174674
