TRADEMARK
Hummel Trademark 5- Goebel Bee - 1972 to 1979:
The Goebel Bee trademark actually developed and was occasionally used as early as 1970. Some collectors know this change as the Last Bee mark because the next change in the trademark did not and no longer incorporated the use of any form of the V and the bee. The mark was used until about mid 1979, when it began to phase out, thus completing the transition to the newer trademark in 1980. There are three minor variations in the mark. Generally the mark was placed under the glaze from 1972-1976 and is found placed over the glaze 1976-1979. This gives you a better idea of when the figurine was made.
