Secrets: This group of raucous elephants circles one another in this box figurine. The mouse is on an elephant's knee. Inside the box lies a tusk. An extra trunk was sighted on the early boxes between the elephant's legs, just over the hallmarks. The trunk was removed due to production considerations in August 1996. A variety of colour variations exist on this piece: the first 1090 were painted yellow and grey until early August, 1996; the next 460 had no colouring at all, after which two of the elephants in the piece were couloured grey. Hallmarks include ©, diamond, HBC logo, clock face with month 4, ed.#, and Pc.
When Lisa Yashon at Harmony Ball decided to sell their Harmony Kingdom archives, that was a quick yes from me! This piece comes directly from the manufacturer, and has been checked for damage, arriving in the original box. So glad to have these great pieces back! ~ Jules
