Hi. I have a Hummel figurine, #67 a girl with a baby carriage, that looks genuine in all respects but one. It has two marks. One is the TMK-1 incised crown and the other is a stamped TMK-2. I have never seen this before and can't really find much about it using Google, though I did find one collector's site that briefly noted that he has infrequently seen this anomaly. Can someone who knows about this help me out. Thanks.

Until you post good, clear pictures -- of both the figurine and the mark -- no one will be able to help you. Don't start a new thread, though. Just click on "Reply" to any post and add your photos.

The Goebel Company used TMK-1 Crown stamped or incised from 1935 to 1950. In 1950 Goebel changed to TMK-2 Full Bee stamped or incised. Figurines already produced and with the crown TMK- 1 also received the full bee TMK-2 in 1950 during the transition from TMK-1 to TMK-2. This is called a double trademark.
I have several of these double trademark figurines in my collection.
Your Hummel #67 is called Doll Mother.
