I would say late '50s Kansas City era, but can't quite see the logo on his cap. It has that late '50s/early '60s look, and I imagine the winning bidder got a pretty nice deal. |

I doubt it is even Athletics related. It's more than likely part of a little animal theme bedroom set. |

Mike could be right about the generic nature. But I thought the yellow and green uniform scheme was perhaps more than coincidental. It would make sense for this piece to be representative of the Athletics. Plus, I think I see a logo on the bill of the cap... just cannot make it out or positively identify it. |

If this is A's-related, it's a very curious piece. When Charlie Finley bought the A's in the early 60s, two of his early moves were changing the team's uniforms to green and gold, and replacing the elephant mascot with a mule, a move I always figured must have echoed Finley's politics. So a green and gold elephant is a real contradiction ... |

You guys must be right... definitely not a sanctioned piece, but perhaps loosely based on (or influenced by) the A's. Probably worth around $50 if condition is ok. |

It's most probably not an official A's lamp. However, considering the then popularity of baseball and the famousness of the A's white elephant, I would guess the maker was aware of the A's resemblance. |
