Goebel Hummel “Duet” Figurine – TMK6 1970s West Germany, Two Singing Boys 130

A charming Goebel Hummel “Duet” figurine featuring two boys joyfully singing together, hand-painted in West Germany with classic detail and warm vintage character.
This delightful Goebel Hummel “Duet” figurine (#130) captures the timeless innocence and artistry that have made Hummel collectibles beloved worldwide. The piece depicts two young boys singing side by side, sharing a song sheet as they lift their voices in harmony — a heartwarming reminder of friendship, music, and childhood joy.

Hand-painted in rich, earthy tones, each detail — from the sheet music’s tiny notes to the expressive faces and softly shaded clothing — reflects Goebel’s meticulous craftsmanship and artistry. The boy in brown holds his hands behind his back while his companion in green trousers stands proudly beside him, both gazing upward in song.

This figurine stands approximately 5.5 inches tall and bears the Goebel W. Germany TMK-6 trademark (used between 1979–1991), stamped on the underside. The nameplate on the base reads “Duet,” and the glaze and colors remain vibrant with minimal age wear, showcasing the enduring quality of Hummel porcelain.

Collector’s Note:

The Hummel “Duet” (#130) was modeled by master sculptor Arthur Möeller and first introduced in 1939. Over the years, it has remained one of Hummel’s most beloved designs symbolizing harmony, friendship, and song. TMK-6 versions, like this one, were produced during the late 1970s through 1980s, reflecting Goebel’s transition era before German reunification.

Each TMK-6 piece carries the historical “W. Germany” mark — now an iconic signifier of late-20th-century craftsmanship.
