The
value of each piece of Gerold Porzellan depends on its availability, size, mark, and model
number incised on the underside of the item.
The mark indicates whether or not it was produced pre- or post-1949. See
the marks page. Any item
with the pre-1949 mark is valued higher. The figurines should also
have at least a four-digit number incised on the bottom of the base
signifying the model number. I believe the
lower the number the older it is.
The value can also depend on what the item is.
For example, ashtrays, trinket boxes, and birds are the most common items
and do not bring as much as figurines, steins, and some household
items.
The model numbers range
in series:
model
#4000 Series
model #5000 Series
model #6000 Series
model
#7000 Series
model #8000 Series
model #9000 Series
If a figurine has
multiple figures on a base the value increases.
