Designed by master sculptor Arthur Möeller in 1938, this classic figurine - often referred to as “Little Scholar,” “School Days,” or “Primer Boy” - depicts a young boy standing with a confident yet thoughtful expression. Dressed in traditional school attire with a satchel slung over his shoulder and a book tucked under his arm, he embodies the hopeful spirit of a child ready to learn.
Produced under the TMK‑3 marking (stylized bee inside a V, used from 1960 to 1972), this charming piece is a nostalgic favorite among collectors for its relatable theme and timeless design.
