German Hummell Figurines
February 6th, 2008 . by admin
I believe that one either loves Hummells or doesn’t get it. To me these are perfectly dear. We have several of these Goebel figurines at In Due Time right now. Some have nice old marks. Goebel was nice enough to change it’s marks regularly and the year each was produced is carefully documented. This little guy is holding his lamb — and wearing his daddy’s slippers!
FROE….HUH
January 22nd, 2008 . by sherriWorking at In Due Time is a very fun job. I learn something new every day. The other day a man came in asking for a Froe. I said huh, that was a hairstyle that I wore in the 70’s. The man laughed at me and said it was a tool that was used for splitting roof shingles. Imagine my surprise and embarrisment. I learn something new everyday and it makes history come alive to me. Joanne is the greatest and knows so much about antiques. She amazes me with all of her knowledge of just about everything in the store. Come in for a treat and and sneak back in time.
