Goebel's Hummel Little Sweeper figurine is about to be retiring from her housekeeping job come December 31, 2006. She has happily swept since 1944 when Reinhold Unger, based on his studies of Sister M.I. Hummel's drawing, first brought her to life as a figurine.<p>Sister Berta's subtle details of her artwork are evident ? rolled up sleeves, a kerchief on the girl?s head, an apron around her waist to keep her dirndl neat.

She has been stored in the original protective package with the retail price sticker from Wise Jewelers, an authorized M.I.Hummel retailer.<p>Figure bears the authentic M.I.Hummel signature on base, along with the figure's title banner. Backstamped Trademark #4, Stylized Bee Goebel, W Germany is on underbase. Goebel paper label on styro packaging. Measures 4.5 inches high.
