See below for the specifications: New Open Box - Hummel was stored in attic with dozens of other hummels. Only opened box to inspect and provide accurate item description for this listing.

Stamped "EXCLUSIVE SPECIAL EDITION No. 8 FOR MEMBERS OF THE GOEBEL COLLECTORS CLUB" in blue on underside of base.

Oversized - Hummel stands at 4.25" tall, which is a quarter inch taller than the catalogs listed height of 4". Master Painter Hand-signed signature in black with year "84" on underside of base. Hummel retains the original name sticker, however the adhesive has lost it's stickiness from decades of storage and is no longer on the figurine. I did not try to reattach it. Comes with Certificate of Authenticity Hang-Tag and original white box. The box has the rarer Goebel Label on the side with the stock number "470". It also has both original two foam inserts and is in really good shape considering it has been sitting in the attic for several decades. Nicer than most I've seen. Closed Exclusive Special Edition.
