Vintage BOEHM African Elephant. There is no box for this as it was kept in grandmothers curio cabinet. Piece is in excellent condition. No chips, no discoloration, no wear.
The following came from online since I had to research why an English company had a statue stamped made in USA.
Boehm did produce the #200-44 African Elephant statue directly in the USA, meaning the mold was dual-issued or transferred between their primary facilities.
Because the Boehm studio operated both its main facility in Trenton, New Jersey and its secondary studio in Malvern, England simultaneously during that era, it was common for popular wildlife molds—including this specific African Elephant—to be cast and stamped at both locations depending on the production run.
An sale record verified by Livesaleeers confirms instances of the 200-44 African Elephant marked "MADE IN U.S.A.". Given Boehm's timeline for expanding their non-avian and safari wildlife collections, your USA-stamped statue was manufactured during the late 1970s to the 1980s
