This came to me some years ago in a purchase of items from a Philadelphia gift store that had closed. I got a few of them and was selling them for ten-twelve dollars a good twenty years ago; thought I had sold out but moved not long ago and I am finding various things. New and in original plastic bag. I never opened and put one together but there is a thin metal rod included and string is already tied to each piece. On light card stock. You get an elephant, giraffe, crocodile, tiger, water buffalo, maybe a zebra and something else, I can't see them all very well but whatever was in there is still in there. Probably early to mid 1960's at newest. Great nostalgic item. Package about 3 3/4" x 15 1/2". Biggest one is the elephant which is as tall as the package is wide.
