[QUOTE="clutteredcloset49, post: 194792, member: 85"]Asian or Indian Elephant not African elephant. Ears are too small. Sorry can't help with age. Probably been made since the turn of the century and are still being made. The older ones had ivory. Newer ones are probably plastic - but I don't know this for sure. Yours appear to have some age as the wood tends to crack with over time.[/QUOTE]
