Rarest Hummels: The Donald Deeks Collection

Purported to be one of the most important collections of its kind ever assembled, including many of the scarcest Hummel figurines ever produced: the four so-called “Mamas and the Papas,” more than two dozen of the 1940s International figures, many prototypes and one-of-a-kind pieces, and original artwork by Sister Hummel. Many of the most desirable pieces were obtained from the collection of Deeks' personal friend, the late Bob Miller, author of multiple Hummel price guides and, for decades, considered the world's foremost authority on the subject. Online bidding available through Bidsquare, Live Auctioneers, Invaluable, Proxibid and HiBid. Phone and FaceTime previews available week of sale.
