Tommy [gone]
West Yarmouth, MA
Tommy, a concrete elephant statue, was created by T.J. Neil around 1979. The statue was about ten feet tall and had a trunk in the shape of Cape Cod. It was installed next to India Fashion. In 2024, the statue was destroyed.

Rocky's Liquor Mart [gone]
Wildwood, NJ
This pink elephant was installed on the roof of Rocky's Liquor Mart. It may have come from a mini golf in Pennsylvania. There was another statue like this which was located on the Wildwood Fun Pier. That one is now in a private collection. These two statues obviously came from the same mold and originally had ears and tusks. There is another statue like this in Metairie, LA which still has his ears and tusks. These photos of the Rocky's statue are from 2012. It was still there in 2017 but by 2018 it had blown over onto its side and was no longer visible from the street below. In 2019, it was donated to the Wildwood Historical Society. There are plans to restore the statue and display it at the George F. Boyer Museum sometime in the future.

This Pink Elephant was installed in front of the Treasure Chest used furniture store. This photo is from 2012. By 2015, the store had closed and this statue was gone. The business used to be known as the Pink Elephant. There was also a larger elephant statue there then.

The Elephant in Novato was installed on the roof of the Dollhouses, Trains & More store. The statue had been there since at least 2011. He was temporarily removed in 2018 during roof repairs and reinstalled. By 2022, the store and statue were gone.

The Elephant was made of rebar and fiberglass. It was originally located at a business in Greenbank, WA that sold statues of animals and people. When the store closed, the elephant was moved to Freeland, WA and later to Whidbey Island. In 2013, it was moved to Dugualla Bay Farms in Oak Harbor. The tusks were broken off from children hanging from them. These photos are from 2015. It was gone later that year.
