Having embraced the “white elephant” as the team mascot in defiance of a derisive comparison at the turn of the century, the Philadelphia Athletics continued to use the pachyderm symbol more than half-a-century later on this 1950s Gibbs-Conner porcelain bank. The smiling elephant has a baseball in his trunk and a bat on his shoulder. The colorful and blemish-free keepsake presents magnificently.
