[QUOTE="KikoBlueEyes, post: 6063294, member: 8363"]But you said in an earlier post that this elephant was an Indian Souvenir from the 60s. While your speculation as to the country of origin was incorrect, I'm not sure how you are conflating the two concepts of jewelry marked with Siam and an elephant marked with Made in Ceylon. I think we can safely assume that the elephant had the potential to be imported into the US, so the maker affixed the stamp in English as required under the US law. I have no idea what other countries' laws are requiring labelling. Even though the US is a monolith, laws are created and then take time to enact and then are further interpreted.
