Q: My mother-in-law gave me this figurine years ago. The little boy is reading a newspaper that has the words "Munchener Presse" on the front. It's 5 1/2 inches tall. It looks like a Hummel figurine but doesn't have a Hummel mark. The base is stamped "News SH3C." Who made it and what is it worth?

A: You have a Napco figurine. Napco stands for National Potteries Corp., which was founded in Bedford, Ohio, in 1938. It originally made florist ware and also imported decorative objects from Japan. Manufacturing was later discontinued and the company just imported goods. Napco figurines are similar to some of Hummel's figurines. Your newsboy reading the Munchener Presse is similar to Hummel's figurine HUM 184 called "Latest News," which was first made in about 1946. Hummel made the newsboy figurine with different facial expressions and different names on the newspaper, including Munchener Presse. Some were also made-to-order with specific newspaper names. Napco moved to Jacksonville, Fla., in 1984 and is now called Napco Marketing Corp. Value of the Hummel version is about $90. Value of your Napco newsboy: about $35.
