Height – 4.625"

Originally modeled by master sculptor Arthur Möeller in 1937. There are variations with the size, colors and basket. This number, 81 2/0, is the only number with the basket filled. All others have the basket empty. The old names of this hummel were "Primer Girl" or "Little Scholar". This motif was used on the 1980 Annual Plate, Hummel number 273. This is a closed edition.
