Hi Amy,

Thank you for contacting Mearto with your appraisal inquiry.

Hummel rubber dolls were a line of dolls produced by the Hummel company during the mid-20th century to expanded its product range. These rubber dolls were often produced in a similar style to the porcelain figurines, capturing the same adorable, childlike features and sweet expressions. They were typically sold as collectible items, and they became particularly popular in the 1950s and 1960s.

The rubber Hummel dolls were made with a flexible, durable material, unlike the more fragile porcelain figurines, which made them suitable for play. Some were designed to be more interactive, with movable limbs, while others were intended primarily as decorative pieces.

These dolls are most often sold as a pair but even then, they bring very modest sums - in this case, about $20 for a pair, or about $10 each
