On offer is a lovely vintage Goebel figurine that stands about 7½" (19cm) tall. On the back of the base is the impressed name "DAKON" who was the designer/sculptor. It depicts a boy playing a whistle or flute. I'm not a collector of this type of item and so my knowledge is limited to what I can find on the internet. I have tried to research this figurine but not had a lot of success. From what I've read it was not a mass produced item - it may have just been a prototype by the artist that was never put into production - thus making it quite a rare find. Please take a good look at the pictures as they form a large part of the item description.

This unique little figurine depicts what looks like a young boy skipping along whilst playing his flute / pipe. He has been hand painted and the cute face is full of expression. He has bright blue eyes, blush cheeks and little tufts of golden brown hair escaping from beneath his green hat. He is dressed in light brown trousers and red jacket with a white shirt underneath. All the colours are really crisp with only the most minute signs of wear from handling.

On the base of the figurine it is stamped with "by W. Goebel Western Germany" in black print, and it has the blue Goebel "Bee in V" mark (that I think is known as TMK3). The base is impressed "© 1957" and "Da1".

There are no chips, cracks or repairs to the item. It is a little dusty from storage and there are one or two tiny surface marks from display. None of this really detracts but is best mentioned to avoid any disappointment.

Despite the minor cosmetic faults this is a beautiful figurine that displays well. It will make a delightful addition to any collection.

PLEASE NOTE
Description is my opinion based on examination of the item shown. If you have ANY questions, please ask before you bid. I require payment within 3 days from the date you are sent your invoice (unless we have previously agreed a different arrangement). Ebay automatically open a non payment case on the 4th day after the item ends.  

SHIPPING & POSTAGE
After the auction ends I will invoice you within 24 hours unless you have already made payment. Where possible I will combine purchases but the postage charged will depend on the final size, weight and value of the parcel. If you have purchased more than one item please wait for an invoice. The postage charged will include a small amount towards the cost of packing materials. I do not make a profit on p&p costs.

If you make payment before you receive your combined shipping invoice I am unable to refund the full amount of postage you have overpaid because Ebay will have taken a percentage of it in charges.
