Ringling publicity picture depicting the herd of newly imported
African "Pygmy" elephants in 1936.
There were two females "Puqua" and "Sudan" and a male "Congo".

Today this photo would be classified as an "urban legend."

I'll embarass myself and ask for somebody to please explain to the uneducated how "punks" of that size can have "ivory" of that length ? At that age I would think that there isn't enough in the gums to attach anything fake and I'm sure Forest Elephants don't sprout anything that young. I bet Richard Reynolds, and perhaps a couple of other knowledgeable folks could help me out.
