Marks of Authenticity
Collectors and admirers all over the globe agree that the artistry and quality of authentic M.I. Hummel products are beyond compare. Only genuine M.I. Hummel figurines are created according to the strict quality control procedures of Manufaktur Rödental, the Convent of Siessen, and the Hummel family.
The Signature
To determine if a figurine, plate or bell is a genuine M.I. Hummel piece, there are definitive marks of identification. The first is the signature of Sister M.I. Hummel incised on the base of most every piece. When Sister Hummel made her historic contract with Franz Goebel, it was agreed that her signature, her personal stamp of approval, would appear on every piece. It does so, to this day. The only exception is on figurines without bases or any adequate surface to display the signature.
The Trademark
The other definitive identifier is the trademark on the underside of the figurine. Though the look of the trademark has varied since 1935, every authentic M.I. Hummel figurine will have a Goebel or Manufaktur Rödental trademark on its underside. Over the years, any change in the trademark has been a source of excitement for M.I. Hummel collectors. Most of the known marks used over the years are available by clicking the link below. However, from time to time, a rare and undocumented variation may surface.
When purchasing M.I. Hummel products, be sure to shop only at authorized M.I. Hummel establishments. And look carefully for two marks of authenticity - the M.I. Hummel signature and the trademark. They are your assurance of the continuing excellence and artistry of Manufaktur Rödental.
