Shanise’s stuffed rhino originally would have a coat with “Rhinocort” emblazoned on the front. The rhino was a medical promotional toy given free to doctors and hospitals to help sell the drug Rhinocort. This promotional method was voluntarily stopped by the drug industry in 2009, but similar practices remain today.

About Value
Stuffed animals can either be hand-crafted or machine produced. This stuffed rhinoceros was machine produced as free promotional product and therefore has little monetary value. The value of stuffed animals lies in the relationship between the owner and the animal, and is different for every person.
