Elephants in the Room - Presidential Gifts

President Reagan was given 788 elephant-related gifts during his time in the White House.  This action figure, hand-knit vest, crystal-studded ostrich egg, and porcelain figurine are a small sampling of the presidential pachyderms at the Reagan Library.  BTW, the ostrich egg is a music box that plays “Hail to the Chief.”
