I bought one in an antique shop in Budapest a couple of months ago. It was priced 200 euros but I got it for 160. At the time I didn't know anything about Hummels, I now think it might be a copy because there is no Goebel mark on the base, just the number 82.0 incised and the letter C in red. The certificate that came with it said it dated from 1934 to 1950 but I doubt it.
