Hi Donna,
Thank you for contacting Mearto with your appraisal inquiry.
We get a LOT of inquiries about Hummel figurines; while they have an inherent charm and were highly desirable among collectors in the 1950s-1970s, they have not retained the same interest among collectors today and there are far more on the market than there are buyers - it's a case of supply far outstripping demand. As a result, the values individual Hummel figures currently bring at auction (which are the values Mearto provides) are fairly low - most bring between $10-30 at auction and MOST auction houses will sell several Hummel figures together in a group, to minimize costs to the seller.
Based on the photos and information provided, and subject to examination, this is:
