HELP WITH A RHINO!

Help with a rhino!

At first glance it is the Beton mold, but this figure is made of solid rubber.
If anyone has the remotest idea of its provenance... ... ... ???

Interesting, but never seen before.

Beton also made a series of soft plastic figures.
Here is Christophe's rhinoceros, later version in soft plastic.

Thanks for the photo, Roger.
Yes, it is obvious that the mold is the same but the one in the photo I attached is made of solid rubber and it is painted... Beton made figures like this?
On the other hand, I know that a Brazilian brand called “Estrela” also produced single color plastic figures from these molds.

Those two do not look the same to me, they are similar but not the same.

I really don't know.
TAW tells the molds were sold to Banner Plastics and in 1967 Banner Plastics was sold to Tal-Cap, a toy conglomeration in Minnesota.
I have no idea if these companies used this mold. Maybe [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] or [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] can give you more useful information.

I already turned to Kiki (he's my source for rhinos) but he couldn't help me either...

When Kiki can't identify a rhino, it means we are en el quinto pino.
Since it is a USA related figure, our hope is Tim but let's wait, sometimes figures take a long time to be identified but it is not uncommon someone finds it out. Just tell your rhino to be patient, it seems he is already yawning.
