Title: W. Goebel teen couple
Post by: mamatino on October 10, 2012, 02:08:52 pm

Hello, I have a W. Goebel figurine of a teenage couple that are in sort of "hippy" clothing.  The boy has a guitar and the colors of the clothing are in pastels.  There is a marking on the bottom that says W. Germany, BVI64 and also 1970 (which I imagine was the year it was made).  It is in perfect condition.
I was wondering is anyone has any idea of the value of it.  I have not been able to find anything at all online.
Thank you!

If this is your figurine it's Goebel's 'Love Bugs' by Charlot (1970).

One sold this past February on ebay with 27 bids, winning bid was $82.99

Nice score. I have a box of Goebel to go through for a client. Here's hoping for hippies. ;)
