Title: Political elephant pin
Post by: pinkelephants1745 on January 28, 2013, 10:03:52 PM
Does anyone know if this is real I tried searching around and have found plenty of cool political elephants but not info on this one. It was said to have a little person rider that has been removed. I would like to know if it is authentic and maybe what year it was made. Thank you in advance for any help.

You must REALLY love elephant items!

Never seen a wooly mammoth that color.  Was raised in FL where they used to have a phosphate museum - and there was a huge mammoth found when excavating (among other animals/plant).    It was reconstructed with all the parts they could find (which was most of them).  The mammoth would have shied away from this!

Sorry pinkelephants1745.. .doesn't look political!
