Hope this finds you well and in good spirit. I'm writing in reference to the RBBB baby elephant promotion truck you have pictured this morning. Attached are 2 more photo's of the vehicle from 1955 and 1956 (color photo). According to my records the elephant was Moe (or Little Moe). The guys in charge were Vern Duffy and Ed Healy. Apparently this unit was used in the advance in 1955 and 1956 seasons.

Buckles,
Can you tell us more about Moe?

She was one of 12 or so elephants sold to Charlie Garvin's Beechbend Park in Bowling Green, KY in 1958.
No further record.
