    This is a very small little figurine I found while "yard-saling" in Central NJ a few weeks ago. It appears to be a small girl painted in pale colors sitting on a swan that is hollowed out. I measured it to be a mere 2" x 2" . The couple I purchased it from were elderly (in their late 70's early 80's) and everything they were selling was very old and unique. The gentleman told my husband and I that he loved acquiring/buying very old stuff when he was younger. Among all of the cool stuff they were selling, he had an amazing collection of military things and his wife had antique sewing and pattern making stuff. We bought quite a few items from them including a wrought iron can opener, and while looking through the tables of stuff, I saw this little figure in between some lace and watches. I picked it up and liked the feel of the porcelain. I asked the man "how much for this little guy" he said, "give me a $1". When I got in the car, I turned it over and became curious about the markings on the bottom. Went home, Googled the markings and learned that it's an early Hummel. I've never seen one so tiny. After extensive research, I still cannot find anything like this little figurine anywhere online. Does anyone have any insite on my find? Thank you :)

      Yes, that is absolutely early Hummel. 1935-1949. I see the swan neck was reglued at some point, but all in all a very cute find!
