Norman Rockwell Figurines... Melt Someone's Heart

There's just something magical about being able to reach out and touch a real interpretation of a work of art. You can even gain a different perspective by looking at the figurine from the opposite side.

The beauty of Rockwell figurines is that they are usually true to the original idea that Rockwell was trying to express with his art.

Virtually every well known Norman Rockwell painting has been rendered into one of these miniature sculptures. The broad selection of Norman Rockwell figurines was what really amazed me while I was researching this article.

Figurine Quality

For quality's sake, I would recommend staying with the more well known name manufacturers in figurines. I have noticed that David Grossman and Goebel figurines both tend to be true adaptations of the original illustrations.

Some of the Norman Rockwell figurines I have found on eBay include:

• David Grossman
• Goebel
• Islandia International
• Gorham
• Danbury Mint
• Norman Rockwell Collectors Club

Figurine Value

I have found many different new and pre-owned Norman Rockwell figurines on eBay. Many of the figurines advertised on eBay are retired or no longer being made. I have seen many bargains to be had on eBay. When I shop on eBay, I use a snipe tool to make sure I get the best price.

The Norman Rockwell Museum of Vermont also has a great selection of Norman Rockwell figurines.

Figurine Subscriptions

Another great source is CollectiblesToday.com. CollectiblesToday.com has newer items like Christmas Villages and other holiday items. They also offer subscription plans so you never miss one in the series.
