I found this at Urban Ore today. it's extremely strong - made of welded steel and thick, reinforced plywood. it's very heavy - about 4 ft across and 2 ft tall. it looks like an elephant stool from a circus. what do you think?

That is Exactly what I thought when I saw it -- I am sure of it !!!
What a great conversation piece. What is urban ore? and where is it located. We have nothing like that near where I live in Canada. Mostly new.
You find the most unique pieces :-) A elephant stand seems right to me ,
thanks antiquerose, PhilDMorris, and Manikin! Urban Ore is a publically owned, privately run business which sells all things recycled from the Berkeley City Dump. [i think that's right, but you can always look it up if you need to be certain]
LOVE THIS!! AWESOME FIND!!
I agree with the rest - an elephant foot rest! What a thing to find....sheesh... :-D
Will make a cracker of a side table!
thanks Sean and Efes! i didn't notice in the dark when i bought it yesterday, but there was a big clue underneath - a piece of tape which says 'Circus Floor' on it.
what should i do w/ this thing?! i was thinking about leaving it outdoors and using it in my garden, but that will ruin it.
This is fantastic Ho2.
I would sell it - I'm sure there are some who would love this as a side table, as Bonnie said!
Keep it & invite an elephant over for tea. ; ))
I live across the bay - I've got to get over to Urban Ore someday! Maybe we can do lunch! Probably left over from Ringling or Circus Vargas! I LOVE IT!
That will be worth BIG BUCKS one day - now that even Ringling is eliminating performing elephants. A real peek into the past, there.
Keep it. Very cool! I would use it as a flowertable, put 3 nice pots with something exotic on it. Something palmlike Make sure you can still see the Star.
~ I HAD to comment on this again:
I thought about You and this item the other day when I heard that after 150 years the RINGLING BROTHERS CIRCUS to end.

I think you have a wonderful and very rare item as the world changes.....
thank you antiquerose, Elisabethan, Celiene, Nevada, and racer! Celiene - i'd love to do lunch w/ you and hit up Urban Ore together! send me an email at pete@eastbaywilds.com. i think i will invite an elephant to tea Nevada!
Topical !!!
As soon as I seen it I thought what a cool find at this point in circus history, and I see that AntiqueRose has covered that subject.....but that's what makes it extra special! I say keep it, it's wonderful!
Great Piece!!! Time for Elephant Jokes!!! Loved them when I was a Kid!!!
How can you tell if an elephant is in bed with you????
You can smell the Peanuts on his Breath!!!!
Got More!!! Will Post!!
