Hummel No.166 Trademark 3(stylized bee)Boy with Bird #2

Hummel No.166 Boy with Bird Ashtray. The large stylized bee was used primarily from 1960 through 1963. The color of the mark is either black or blue. It is sometimes found inside an incised circle. When you find the large stylized bee mark, normally you will find a stamped "West" or "Western Germany" in black elsewhere on the base, but not always. The tail of the bird is missing on this piece. There is a small 1/8" (.05cm) chip on outside of tray diagonally away from the boy, to the left of the cigarette rest. There is also a 3" (7.8cm) crack in the tray area running away from the boy to the lip, visible from the top and the bottom. Another very small crack (3/4" (2.0cm) from lip in) is located on the bottom rim, it is visible from bottom only. Neither has been glued.
