Pictured is a vintage Goebel French Bulldog from the Goebel Archives in Germany. It is of a white dog with a brown mask face and a brown patch on its back end in a sitting pose. The eyes, nose and toe nails are black. It is wearing a blue collar, which is built into the mold. It also has a metal collar around its neck with a Goebel Archives seal coin attached. On the front of the coin it reads W. Goebel Oeslau. On the back of the coin it reads Arbeitsmuster. Arbeitsmuster is the German word for 'work patterns.' On the bottom in black ink it says Germany. There is also a trademark 2 (TMK-2) logo with the registered (R) symbol stamped in blue next to it. The logo is of the full bee inside the V. It was in 1950 that the Goebel Company implemented the bee and the V in memory of Sister M.I. Hummel, the artist behind the famous Hummel figurines. Hummel means bumble bee in German. The V stands for Verkaufsgesellschaft, which means sales company. There is also an incised engraving that reads CH 191/0. It came with a Certificate of Authenticity from the Goebel Archive, shown below. It measures 3 1/2 inches tall from the ground to the tip of the ear, 4 1/2 inches long from the side of the face to the tip of the tail and 1 3/4 inches wide across the front paws.

Pictured is a vintage Goebel double-crown mark French Bulldog. It is of a white dog with a gray mask face and a gray patch on its back in a sitting pose. It is wearing a gray collar. The eyes are black with white edges and the nose is black and gray. The paws are white with gray toenails. On the bottom of the figurine is the double-crown mark logo. The crown mark is the very first trademark (TMK-1) the Goebel Company used on its figurines. It was used between 1935 and 1949. It is the symbol of a crown; under the crown are the letters W and G overlapping one another. The term double-crown mark is used when the symbol appears twice on the same piece. On this figurine it appears in a blue stamp and an incised engraving. There is also an engraving that reads C.H. 191 and an engraving that reads Dep. There is also a handwritten R in black ink under the glaze. It measures 4 1/2 inches tall from the ground to the tip of the ear, 5 inches long from the side of the face to the tip of the tail and 2 1/4 inches wide across the front paws.

This is one of the oldest figurines I own. It is estimated to date between 1900 and 1930. It’s solid, metal, heavy and seems to be made out of lead. On the bottom it is marked Germany. It is painted brown with a black collar. The eyes are black with white. Some of the paint is wearing off, which would be expected for a figurine this old. It is just a tiny thing, measuring 1 inch from the ground to the top of the ears, 1 1/2 inch long from the back of the tail to the front of the snoot and 3/4 wide across the front of the chest.
