Featured Any information or value for this snail?

Hi, I know absolutely nothing about this sort of stuff so I thought I'd ask here if anyone has any information about this snail I own. I don't know if this is the right place for this so apologies if I'm wrong. Snail is marked Goebel 35 101-19 (see image)


Grateful for any input! Cheers!

 

Hi RigelJuice!

Welcome to Antiquers..........

Goebel............the same Company that produced the Hummel figurines and many other types also.

 

'W. Germany' gives a broad time frame. Did you acquire it new?

 

Can't be a very common piece. Found one sold on eBay last year but too old a listing to find the price. Mark was used between 1979 and 1990

 

I think it is cute and would sell. JMHO.

 

How big is it?

 

Thanks for all the replies so far. I'm here to add a little info. The snail was bought second hand with no info along with it, so unfortunately someone with an untrained eye like me has little to go off of. Below I've attached some images with a tape measure, in Centimeters. They're not the best but hopefully they give some idea of scale, it is quite large.

 

Perhaps @Kronos would be so kind and tell you the price. Thanks Kronos!!!

WOWZERS!!!

 

I'll second that WOWZERS!!!!!

 

Hope @RigelJuice drops back in.

 

That's crazy! Maybe it's partly because it looks so deliciously similar to a pastry!

 

I think perhaps it is a rare figurine. I have a large Goebel hedgehog, in a similar finish, that only cost me about $50 on eBay a couple of years ago.

 

Holey Moley. I have to remember to add this to my list of things to look for.

 

Me too Pearls!!!

 

Wow! Never would've expected it to be worth that much. I don't plan on selling it since I'm so fond of it, but it definitely feels even more special now! Thank you everyone!
