Question: I am not sure of the name but it is a little boy in a checked jacket sitting at a table reading a book. At the base of the table is a small black dog with a red collar and at the base of the boy's stool is another open book. The Hummel signature is on the 'floor' of the figure. On underside there is a stamp of the V with the bee inside with a copyright symbol followed by 'by W.Goebel W.Germany'. The numbers 306 and 1955 are stamped separately as well as two lots of 74 which are in a different font.
