    This was bought for less than one dollar at the antiques market of Belgrano St. in Córdoba. The man who sells this thinks is rather poor but very correct. He thought it was a candle holder and in fact, it was used as one. It was full of candle wax. I knew that it was a match holder and striker because of the rough surface darken by the fire (second picture). A great surprise was that it was an old Goebel figurine (third and four pictures). When we bought this, we have no idea about Goebel and the prices their objects have in the market, more this type of old match striker sure before the Hummel era.

    1921-1931 The Roaring Twenties make their entry at Goebel. Figurines and design elements in Art Deco style conquer the collection. On the occasion of the company‘s 60th anniversary in 1931, many factory modernizations are announced.
    1935 Grandson Franz Goebel also proves to be a man of vision. An exclusive agreement with Sister Maria Innocentia Hummel and the Convent of Siessen grants Goebel the exclusive right to adapt the artist’s drawings into three-dimensional porcelain figurines. The famous Hummel figurines are born and become a “million seller” in America. For many years Goebel has been known as the “Hummelwerk“. http://www.goebel.de/en/top/Company/History/
