Offered here from the dougfinds collection of curated fashion, accessories, clothing, collectibles, and unique gifts is this wonderful vintage tin lithographed wind-up circus elephant balancing a colorful ball while riding a three-wheeled scooter.

This is one of those pieces that instantly makes people smile.

Wind the key and the elephant propels itself forward while balancing the brightly colored ball overhead. As the ball spins, the tassels swing outward, creating the classic circus action these mechanical toys are known for. It is an entertaining display piece and a great example of the charm that made tin wind-up toys collectible.

This example retains its original "For Collectors - Not For Children" label and includes the original wind-up key.
