Item Description
1-1/8" litho with two tiny union bugs on the curl. Pictured is "Elmer" wearing small hat and with his trunk holding a pennant reading "Be Careful." The item does not have a Disney copyright but given this elephant's name we think he must have at least been inspired by the Disney character. There is a hairline running vertically on his face but much of the gray color that appears in our photo has come off with just the slightest mark still barely visible. Only one or two other pinpoints of paint wear and overall condition remains Exc. for this first seen example. Also see rare Little Hiawatha button #1264.
