Reproduction Hummel

Hello John and Peter,
I tried to send these pictures earlier but had to resize them.
These are knock off Hummels, and appear to have some age. There are no marks of any kind not even the knock off brand.
They were in a box lot at an Auction and I don't know what to make of them. Any suggestions.
Sincerely,
Kenny Francisco

Re Reproduction Hummel figurines.
Dear Kenny,

Your figures look very convincing.

I have to say that I am not in favour of anyone copying another's work and deliberately trying to pass something off as something else for profit is particularly bad.

The only possibility that they are genuine is if they are unmarked trial-figures.

Having said that, if you like them, enjoy them. If you want to sell them, as copies, they would have little value. In fact, original Hummel china seems to be out of favour at the moment so even originals are not selling for very much.

If they could be proved to by original trial pieces the value would be much more.

Best regards

Tony
