This is a metal mold used for making elephant-shaped candies or chocolate. This mold has both sides and are attached. They can be seperated but the metal flap that connects them is very tight and stuck in place. The whole thing is made of a silver metal that has been tarnished over the years. Each of the sides has the elephant shape and an outer lining for the connector to attach. The lining is where the metal is flat and lies directly against the opposite side. On one side there are two small circular indentations to also help attach it to the other piece to create the full elephant shape. There are also two numbers. Imprinted vertically by the trunk is "2308" and horizantal by the tail is "22." The elephant itself is somewhat small. The two legs are close together and the tail tucks down. The ear protrudes out futher than the rest of the body and has rounded edges. One eye is visible and just a small indentation. The trunk curves up under the neck touching it and there is a small tusk that does not extend past the trunk. The metal on this side is tarnished, although not as bad as the other side. The opposite side of the elephant is basically the same thing just reversed. The circles connecting the sides are protruding and underneath the connector is another one. The elephant is facing the opposite way and the "22" is still near the rear. There is some writing near its head but its been worn away a little bit so it is hard to make out.
