Hi Karen,

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.
Based on the photos and information provided, and subject to examination, this is:

A vintage MI Hummel hand-painted porcelain "Ride Into Christmas" collectible figurine
Model # 396, made by W. Goebel, West Germany, bearing the underglaze blue "TMK-6" or "Missing Bee" backstamp in use from 1979 to 1990.
Depicting a young boy on a sled, holding a present in front of him, a Christmas tree in his backpack, on an oval base impressed "MI Hummel" and marked below.
5 3/4 inches tall.
CONDITION: appears to be in excellent condition; retains original packaging
PROVENANCE: purchased in Germany in 1985
$50-75*
*represents a fair-market value for auction purposes; retail or asking price may vary.
