This is an antique or vintage Hummel 'Little Hiker', marked on the underside base 16 2/0, with the Stamped Full Bee TMK-2 mark and 'Germany'. As with all original Hummel figurines, this was manufactured by The Goebel Company (W. Goebel Company), although their name does not appear on the piece. A cute little boy in German dress with a big staff/tree branch in his hand who looks like he is calling out or singing while taking a hike in somewhat oversized shoes (perhaps they are snow shoes?). This old piece measures about 4 1/4 inches tall and 1 7/8 inches wide, which is also the diameter of the round base that has the incised 'M J Hummel' on the back rim (this is hard to read but it is there).

Very nice overall condition, no chips, cracks, crazing that we can see. He does look dirty to us, like he could use a good cleaning, but we are selling him as found since we don't know the proper way to clean him. The only other thing we notice is one or two very tiny dots of white on the head of his brown staff. We don't know if some paint has worn off here or whether he was made this way, it feels the tiniest bit rough in this spot, so perhaps it is wear, but it is definitely nothing major and probably something most people wouldn't notice. There is another tiny, tiny white dot on the back of his red hat but this can't be felt at all. Please note that in the 3 images there are lots of 'white hot spots', but these are reflections from the camera lighting (which also lightens the coloring of the piece). We just try to inspect very carefully and tell all we see to fairly represent our items. Others, however, would just see a lovely piece in great shape that would make a nice addition to any collection.
