: I have two Hummel figurenes that I can not find information on. They
are both marked V with the bee centered in the V. and W. Germany.
Also marked by W. Goebel. The date on both is 1956. Also the circle
with C in the center. One is of an old man, 6 1/2 inches tall, holding
four potted plants (Schau 96). He is wearing a brown long tailed coat,
green pants and a bluish visored cap.Standing on a circle base.

: The second one is maked the same except (Schau 68). This old man, 5
6/8 inches tall, also has a bluish cap on, long blue coat that goes to
the ground,(there is a cat rubbing against the back of his coat) yellow
waist coat with a bow tie, brown pants. He is also wearing glasses. He
is holding in front of him a potted cactus plant. Beside him on the
(R)are 2 cactus plants and one potted cactus plants on the (L). The base
is two steps that resemble flag stone. In front of him is a watering can.

: They are both signed in cursive and it looks like ( C. Spitzweg or
C. Lpitzweg)

: Can you direct me to a source / web site, that would list these
unusual Hummels and what they would be worth at retail.

: Thank You.

I too own the second one. Carl Spitzweg was a famous artist in the
1880'sin Germany. The figurine you have is taken from one of his
paintings. I am also trying to find a price.
