This week I am changing gears slightly. Last week I discussed the history of both stuffed animals and promotional items, but due to length constraints, I will only be focusing on stuffed animals from here. The reason I have chose this path is that if one hundred years from now an archeologist found Shanise’s stuffed rhino, they would have no idea that it was a promotional item, all the distinguishing markings of that life are gone. However, they would probably be able to determine that it is a stuffed animal.
