WONDERFUL ADDITION TO ANY COLLECTION!!!
In the mid-1950s, a version of Signs of Spring was issued with the 4-inch tall HUM 203 2/0 incised mold number. It was this size in the Full Bee TMK-2 trademark that was created with two shoes for some reason. This did not last very long as it was decided to go back with the right foot to be shown as shoeless and has since remained that way. The Full Bee TMK-2 version may be found with both shoes and only one shoe. The two shoe version is considered rare and has a value estimated as three times that of the same Full Bee TMK-2 version with one shoe. Signs of Spring was permanently retired by Goebel in the Fall of 1990 and will not be produced again.
