BOOK WORM Bookends (Hummel 14A and 14B, 5-1/2" tall)

Price is for set of two, boy and girl.  Modeled by master sculptor Reinhold Unger in 1935.  These figurines are weighted with sand through a hole on the bottom and closed with a cork or plastic plug.  Sometimes sealed with a paper sticker and inscription "75 Years Goebel."  The girl is the same as HUM 3 and HUM 8.  The boy was made only as part of bookend set and not normally sold separately.  This policy, however, was changed and the boy could be purchased alone and unweighted.  This was done mainly to satisfy collectors who desired a figurine to match the 1980 Annual Bell that had a motif similar to the bookend boy.  In 1981, HUM 415 "Thoughtful" was released in the U.S. market to match the annual bell.  "Bookworm" bookends were "temporarily withdrawn" (TW) from production on December 31, 1989.  Bookworm boy has been found with number "14" only (NO "A") incised on the bottom.  Boy was called "Learned Man" in very old catalogues.
