Following their introduction to the world at the 1935 Leipzig Fair, Hummel figurines quickly became very popular, particularly in the U.S., as American soldiers stationed in Germany often sent them home as gifts for their children. Due to their rarity in some cases, certain Hummel figurines can fetch thousands of dollars on the secondary market, as many who buy and sell them are also collectors. Below are examples of some of the most valuable Hummel figurines out there now. Who knows, maybe one of them is hiding in your curio cabinet.
