Get The Hummel Commemorative Set – Enduring Glow of Freedom

Goebel/Hummel figurines are synonymous with beauty and timeless appeal in the world of artistry. This mint condition set with original box, entitled “Enduring Glow of Freedom”, is a magnificent example. It was modeled by Helmut Ficher in 1999 to commemorate the tenth anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall. Issued for the U.S. military, it is to honor the men and women who bravely serve their country. Standing 8” tall, this outstanding set consists of two porcelain figurines, a wooden base and a mountable plastic rainbow that provides a cheery background.

The first figurine, called “Crossroads”, is of a young lad comfortably dressed in a light green jacket, brown pants, orange scarf and a tan billed cap. With a “hobo” sack slung over his left shoulder and his right hand in his pocket, the child is contemplating a signpost with its “HALT” sign down and eye-catching orange flowers at its base. A blue bird is perched on the sign pointing “west”; the opposite sign pointing “ost” or east. The “Happy Traveler” is the second delightful figurine. He is a captivating youngster, lips pursed in a whistle and his left leg extended upwards in a joyous manner, as if he is marching. The charming lad, hands tucked in his pockets, is wearing a light green jacket and grey pants, which contrast warmly with his bright orange umbrella that is tucked under his left arm.

Each figurine has a special decal of both the American and German flags under the base. This endearing set would make a wonderful patriotic addition to your Hummel collection or as a stand-alone piece for any collection.
