Title: Vintage elephant wind up toy
Post by: pinkelephants1745 on January 30, 2013, 10:46:21 PM

I have had this wind up toy for a while and it looks pretty old but I cannot find any information on it. I love this piece and it is still in working order but I need more information on it. What year? Value? Anything!!!

My first thought was that it was by Irwin...but couldn't find anything other than this one:

Need to do some more looking. ???

(Age is probably mid 50's+, and value...maybe $15 - $20.)
