Hi James,

Thank you for contacting Mearto with your appraisal inquiry.
Hummel figures were incredibly popular among collectors in the 1950s-1990s and there are a lot of them on the market, unfortunately with less demand than supply so it is quite rare for individual pieces to be worth more than $5-50 each, at auction. The value can occasionally be boosted if the piece retains its original factory packaging.
Both the Apple Tree Girl and Apple Tree Boy were one of the most popular - and most commonly seen Hummel figures, though it is unusual to see ones this large (sadly, the rarity isn't necessarily reflected in the price these large figures get at auction.)
Based on the photos and information provided, and subject to examination, this is:
