How much is Toppie the stuffed elephant worth?

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.

Are elephants really scared of mice?

  • This is a myth, not factual.
  • One reason that many people felt this myth might be true is because they thought an elephant might fear a mouse creeping into its trunk while asleep - stopping it from breathing. However this logic has a fatal flaw. Apart from the fact that no mouse in his right mind would choose such a crazy place for a snooze, any sleeping elephant would easily smell such a suicidal rodent. And the force that an elephant has for blowing obstructions from their trunks is plenty adequate to shoot a mouse out like a ball from a cannon.
  • Mice, per se, do not bother any of them. They are a very natural part of their environments. A mouse walking by is not a problem for any of the larger animals. What DOES bother them is anything that startles them. A mouse that was very still and in the elephant's view is not an issue. If this (very stationary) mouse suddenly moves, the movement that occurs MAY startle the elephant. This depends on many factors. What other noises are around. Are there any predators (perceived or otherwise) nearby? What smells are around? How close is the mouse?
  • There are plenty of websites explaining that it depends on the elephants in question. The elephants in the Mythbusters episode were "semi-habituated", likely spending most--if not all--of their time out in a natural environment instead of in a man-made structures with food stores nearby (where mice would happily forage). A stark-white mouse suddenly appearing underfoot would startle them as a curious anomaly in their natural environment... unlike a circus or zoo-kept elephant that was used to seeing mice scurrying around, as part of everyday life. So, it depends on the elephant and how/where it was raised and if it was exposed to mice in everyday life.
  • Their reaction may not be related to the mouse as an animal, but rather to its being a moving object near the animal's feet. It can be a question of whether the animal feels it is in any danger of loss of sure footing. It is sometimes difficult for large animals to get up again after fully down ("cast"), they depend on their readiness for flight or running away from danger and they avoid or fear the inability to do this. When large animals, like elephants, see something moving toward or under foot, they worry that they will lose their footing and fall and then be unable to get up again to flee from danger.
  • When elephants need to move from a position on their sides on the ground they need a lot of room to get up. They need to be able to roll themselves back first to get momentum to allow them to get partially up on their sides and to get their feet under them to stand. If they do not feel that they will have plenty of room should this become necessary, they will avoid anything that puts their sure footing in jeopardy. A small object moving, like a rock rolling can indicate loose footing. A small moving mouse can trigger this worry about footing and cause the large animal to move to an area that will be more sure under foot and that has large enough space for them to get back up if they go down.

Why do Oakland A's have elephants on their sleeves?

In 1901 Connie Mack and his Philadelphia Athletics became one of the original founders of the American League. In 1902 New York Giants Manager John McGraw dismissed the A's with contempt, by calling them "The White Elephants." He meant to imply that Mack shouldn't be allowed to spend money without supervision. Well, Connie Mack took up the gauntlet and defiantly adopted the White Elephant as the team insignia. That year, 1902, the A's won the American League pennant -- much to the unvoiced chagrin of John McGraw. This is from the A's history page.... To be simple... It's the Oakland Athletics' oldest logo.
