I would translate the signature of your meiji-elephant-bronze tentatively as:

寳 bǎo
宝 zhōu

But I think it should be read "HoShu" which translates as "Treasure Island"

I haven't had time to search in more detail yet. But there was a discussion in this forum some years back, which I link to you at the end of this message.

Look here for a list of comparable meiji-bronzes:

With kind regards
