These 12 in. vinyl M. I. Hummel dolls were made by Goebel in Germany, 1960-1972. My daughter found them second hand without shoes and socks. The girl, Little Shopper, is missing her original basket and apron. Sister Maria Innocentia Hummel was a Franciscan Nun, born 1909 in Bavaria. She had artistic talent and attended Munich Academy of Art. Franz Goebel made an agreement to manufacture figurines adapted from her drawings of happy children. She died in 1946 but the figurines continued to be made followed by dolls in 1949.
