    Description

    Here, I have a very nice, rare and early 1900's Steiff rolling Elephant with working growler.
    Tiny ear tag clearly say Steiff. Wooden eyes.
    Growler is a metal ring attached to a eye hook wire. When you pull it out approximately 2 inches and release it makes a honking sound. Not sure if it sounded like this when it was originally manufactured.
    Weighs 4 pounds.
    Measures from trunk to tip of tail-17 inches.
    Stands 13 inches tall.
    7 inches wide at edge of wheels.
    Solid straw filled body which appears to be wool felt.
    Left ear has come apart is hanging with badly done older repair.
    Both trunks have damage.
    Trunk has a minor 1 inch split along seam on both sides.
    A few minor small holes in wool. Tail has an old repair. Right leg has a slight seam rip and straw is visible.
    Rollings wheels completely secure to body.
