Jerry,

I know little about tropical frogs, but that one looks pretty clean for something that old. Taken out of a supply depot and kept carefully?

Jerry,

The manufacturing and stitching is consistent with originals I've seen.
Even the mismatched colors of the canvas.
Where the rust-stain is, could very well be from another frog-button touching it, if it was bundled or in a box.
You might want to check the stitching for synthetic thread, but it looks good to me, just looks VERY new...
If it is original, then it came straight out of a time-capsule smile

Hello Fellows,

Thanks so much for the helpful information. I sure hope this tropical frog is a good one ! If it is, I doubt if there are many, if any, others in this condition. I agree, it sure looks awfully new for something so old.

Jerry
