Item Description

Elsie was created by Borden’s advertising agency in 1936 to help make the brand more friendly and approachable to the public. The introduction of a real life Elsie occurred at the 1939 World’s Fair. As the company was preparing for an exhibit at the World’s Fair, it planned for Elsie to be a part of the exhibit. Elsie’s popularity was overwhelmingly evident, and Borden decided it needed to produce a real Elsie. One of the cows that were part of Borden's exhibit at the World's Fair stood out from the others – she seemed to make eye contact and have a real personality. That cow was a seven-year-old that had been born in Brookfield, Massachusetts with the original name “You’ll Do Lobelia.” For the rest of the season, this cow, was dressed in an embroidered green blanket for everyone to see, and millions did.

Very good condition as shown.
