In 1950 the Goebel Company made some major changes in their trademark. They incorporated a bee in a V. It is thought that the bumblebee part of the mark was derived from the childhood nickname of Sister Maria Innocentia Hummel, meaning bumblebee. The bee flies within a V, which is the first letter of the German word for distributing company. Verkaufsgesellschaft. The mark was to honor M. I. Hummel, who died in 1946.
T are actually 12 variations of the Bee marks, however, the majority are grouped together due to the insignificant differences between the marks. They are not considered particularly significant enough to define them un-grouped. The Full Bee mark was the first of the Bee trademarks to be used. The marks evolved over 20 years until the company began to catch up to modern times. The Bee Mark is sometimes found enclosed within an incised circle. The very large bee flying in the V was used until 1956, when the bee was reduced in size and lowered into the V. It can be found incised, stamped in black or THIS IS AN ORIGINAL NOT NEW THIS IS VERY OLD ANTIQUE HUMMEL Early 1950'S GIRL WITH A BIRD PERCH ON HER LAP WHILE KNIGHTING.
