Aww! This looks like a late 1940s-50s Gund elephant. Well loved and maybe minus a bit of stuffing. He seems to have the Gund outline from that era. Steiff had longer trunks often with a bend in them. Are you trying to replace him? I see them on eBay and Etsy periodically. Sometimes the seller has now clue the brand so you may need to do a generic vintage elephant search. Good luck!

This elephant appears to look like it was made from a pattern/kit. This could have been a private seller or a gift.

If you have more info to help with the search, it would lead to more answers.

This looks hand sewn. The paws are a giveaway. Someone made this for a child.

Hi Judy, I have had this elephant since 1961, before that my brothers may have had it. The paws had been replaced many years ago by my Mom and I believe that they were a brown in color. It was well played with and had many surgeries for repair that I remember. I am trying to find pictures from back then to see the original color.

2 of my other animals that I had from back then were Steiff and everyone thought that it might have been that too. I can not find it on a Steiff search though. Thanks for the thoughts, I appreciate you time.
