The hippo is wearing a circus blanket upon which the title and the manufacturer's names are printed. The crayon box is between the two sides of the hippopotamus, creating a 3-dimensional crayon holder. There is no date of manufacture, and there is no top lid for the crayon box. The dimensions given are for the cardboard hippo, minus the height of the crayons.
