Searching – 70’s Eden YELLOW ELEPHANT Windup YOU ARE MY SUNSHINE Head Moves
We have a mailing list of people looking for the yellow and also for the blue version of this elephant.
[pinit]I am desperately trying to find one of the vintage 70’s Eden elephants in yellow that plays “You Are My Sunshine”. Its head rotated, and it had a wind up music box inside. It stood about five inches tall, not very big.
If you are able to help me find one, I would be ETERNALLY grateful. This elephant was extremely special to me, as my Aunt, who recently passed, gave it to me when I was born. I am determined to find a replacement, as I no longer have the original. Please contact me if you are able to locate one, and I appreciate ANY help you can provide to me.
Thank you,
Samantha

Hello – Regarding Post Code 17229 – I have the Vintage Yellow Elephant by Eden Toys that winds up and plays you are my sunshine and it’s head moves. I received this toy as a baby 30 years ago. I held onto it for all of these years as a keepsake, but am moving, so am minimizing most of what I own. Until today the head still moved, but when I put it away several years ago the music box had stopped working. Today when I decided I was going to post it on ebay I started messing around with it a little….jiggling the head, and the wind up key, and trying to mess around with it as best I could from the outside to see if I could somehow get it to work. Well, as I was messing with it the music started playing at certain points of the head rotation. Then suddenly it all stopped working. Needless to say I did something to it now so it neither rotates it’s head nor plays music. It’s in great used shape besides that, so it’s a shame the internal parts aren’t working. I would imagine someone could open it up and get it all working again though. The tag is on and still readable. The pom pom on the trunk is no longer there – I remember as a kid removing it because I thought it looked silly. The trunk is in good shape – just no pom pom there. If you know anyone who would be interested just let me know. I’m going to post it on ebay sometime next weekend when I have more time otherwise. Thanks!!!
