Most Hummel figurines are worth $50-$75. Some models reach several hundred dollars. Special individual Hummel figurines can be sold for thousands and even tens of thousands of dollars. For a good starting point, reference this Hummel Figurine Guide, but note that prices can vary widely depending on certain factors.

Are Hummels still valuable?

Rarity of Specific Figurines

Limited-edition Hummel figurines bring higher values than pieces with much larger production runs. Retired figurines—ones that are no longer on the market—command better prices than pieces that are currently in production. A rare Hummel figurine can bring a value of $1000 or more.

How can you tell how old a Hummel figurine is?

A Hummel figurine can be dated by the marking or trademark on the underside of its base. This mark is also referred to as the backstamp, stamp, or figure. This is very important as Hummel values are determined by age as well as scarcity.

Hummels were sold as an investment, while the very act of selling them in bulk undermined the scarcity that made them valuable in the first place. Like with Thomas Kinkade’s work, eventually buyers could readily find excess product, either from the manufacturer or a flooded secondary market.
