She Loves Me She Loves Me Not is 1982’s annual porcelain bell and is fifth in the series following Let’s Sing, Farewell, Thoughtful and In Tune. On the back of this delightful bell is “1982” in bas relief, with the famous M.I. Hummel signature embossed. The bell is six inches in height and the oval base is four inches across at its widest point. On this Hummel bell’s front is a captivating little boy in a brown Bavarian cap. He is very colorfully dressed in a sky-blue checked shirt, red neckerchief and brown pants. Beside him are beautiful red flowers nesting in a patch of green grass. As the beguiling child sits in front of a wooden fence, upon which a yellow bird sits, watching curiously as the boy works intently with a daisy, reciting “she loves me, she loves me not”… How do you think it turns out?  This gorgeous 1982 Goebel/ Hummel annual bell would make a most appealing addition to your collection! 

This fetching porcelain M.I. Hummel figurine #2002 called “Making New Friends” stands 6.75 inches tall. The adorable figurine is an endearing scene of a little brown-haired boy, with his cheeks a little flushed from the cold, playfully discovering the joys of winter, as he builds a snowman. He is bundled up in a cute lavender jacket and knit hat with pompom, plus matching orange mittens and scarf that is fluttering in the breeze. With his cold weather gear and green pants, he makes quite the colorful picture. The charming boy’s eyes are wide with wonder, as he regards his new snowy friend. He has built his snowman next to a small snow-covered pine tree.

 The lad has done a thorough job in adorning his new friend with four buttons of coal for his “coat”, coal for his eyes and a carrot for his nose. A distinguished black top hat with an orange band and a broom, for the snowman’s right hand, complete the look. As the child puts the finishing touches on his new friend, he is precariously balanced on a wooden sled. This wonderful figurine has the authentic Hummel trademark “TM7”, artist’s signature, “97, Goebel, Germany”. Also incised is “#60” and “1996”. This magnificent figurine is in mint condition, with no chips, cracks or crazing. Wouldn’t you love to have this exquisite Hummel #2002 “Making New Friends” figurine as part of your cherished collection?
