Vintage GOP Elephant CAMPAIGN COOKIE CUTTER, Orig Box! - eBay (item 310055026237 end time Jun-05-08 18:34:23 PDT)This vintage tin cookie cutter is shaped like the GOP elephant and comes in the original box marked, "Campaign Cookie Cutter. Vote Republican. GOP." It makes 2 by 3 inch cookies.
Besides the vintage red, white and blue patriotic box, there's also the insert with ordering instructions. They offered 72 cutters at ten cents each at an address with no zip code. Another eBayer sold one recently and said this cookie cutter was produced during the Roosevelt Presidential campaign in the 1940's.
Ornate 5-In ELEPHANT TRINKET BOX Kneeling, Round Basket - eBay (item 310020891352 end time Feb-12-08 18:26:34 PST) This ornate trinket box is a kneeling elephant with upraised trunk and a round basket on his back. I think it's made of composition, which seems like a light weight fake ceramic material. I see no maker's mark anywhere.
The inner box is a half round almost three inches across and half that deep. It measures 4 1/2 inches long, almost 3 1/2 inches wide and 5 1/2 inches high.
The elephant is wearing elaborate side panels and the basket has a woven reed design with curlicues and fringe. I've had it for awhile and I like it, but never found something wonderful for it to hold. Maybe you can figure something great to put in it.
