Jumbo With Moving Ear

Very scarce mechanical trade card in series of two with an ear attached from the back with a tab that moves. The card features the famed elephant Jumbo picking up a woman, knocking over a table and basket of apples, while a kid in red cap and shirt rides his back. Though not named Jumbo, the elephant clearly is meant to make us think of the famed creature considering both his size and the mammoth circus blanket on his back. "Copyrighted 1882 by J.M.
