Hummel 541

This is the Sweet As Can Be: Hummel 541. By itself... this is a members' Exclusive Preview Edition for Club year 17. This figurine was first introduced in 1993 for members of the M.I. Hummel Club only and not sold as an open edition. It was modeled by master sculptor Helmut Fischer in 1988. It had an incised 1988 copyright date along with the TM7 trademark. It also bears the inscription: "EXCLUSIVE EDITION 1993/94 M.I. HUMMEL CLUB" applied by blue decal.

A large black flying bumble bee is located on the bottom. The official issue price was $125 in the U.S., in addition to the member's redemption card. Goebel reserved the right to reintroduce this figurine as an open edition, minus the special backstamp. Similiar to one girl from Hummel 176 "Happy Birthday." And that's what we have here. Purchased from QVC I believe with a nice Hummelscape that complements it. It stands only 4 1/8 inches and just the figurine alone is about $160.
