    This is a BIG baby - 9 1/2 inches high from tip of trunk to toes and more than 22 inches around. Hand painted and made of terracotta. Note the three balloons engraved onto the bib. :-))))

    There is still something left of the soft white fuzz originally on the bottom of the bank. This baby looks to be around the age of my big piggy bank, which is from the mid-1980s. The design of the plug is the same. I couldn't find one like this using an Image search. No marks anywhere. The woman I bought it from didn't know too much about it.

    Quite a change from the boring, mundane types of banks I always see at the flea markets.

    Thanks for looking/loving, CW friends!

      Ha, I've been seeing this lil guy and all I could think was I can't wait to get on CW and check this out because: the gray elephant is (among many things) the mascot for the University of Alabama in the US. He,he now that I see the bib on it all I can think is someone from Auburn university designed it. I but you could sell it to many folks there! It's a huge football rivalry between the two. Sorry, that's all I got, but it's adorable.
