There are two versions of the Toppie Elephant that we see pop up every now and again.
The first version being the 1957 Toppie which is taller and longer with a shorter trunk. Measuring 16" in height with plastic eye buttons, saddle with elastic and a pink ribbon.
The second toppie is the 1958 which is the smaller Toppie with the larger trunk, plastic eyes and a blue ribbon. Measuring 12" in height and no saddle.
The 1957 Toppie is the rarer of the two and it's value can exceed $500.00 USD in the 2013 market if in Mint - Near Mint Condition. It's very hard to find any of these, let alone in good condition.
The 1958 holds some value, but does not compare to the 1957. The 1958 Toppie has an approximate 2013 value of $95 USD.
You can notice the differences in these two just by looking at them. One stands on all four, has a saddle and pink ribbon (1957 - $500+). The other cannot stand on it's own, has a blue ribbon and a longer trunk (1958 - $95)
These reports are figured by the amount of World-Wide listings trending and demand. The 1957 Toppie is reverred as a much more sought after collectible than the 1958. But both do hold true value.
As of this posting there are two Toppies currently up for auction. One is on eBay, and the other is on Etsy. The eBay one is the more valuable one. Yet the Etsy listing is listed at the same price.

The story... that is, the intellectual property... is worth quite a bit. The book, not so much.
how much is a 1lb jumbo peanut butter jar worth that has elephant head on it
Quite a lot. But it is illegal to poach elephants.
There is one on etsy for $19...
A copy of anything is not worth much. It is not real and is a copy.
