I hope that everyone has a good day, and I’ll be back this afternoon.

FP,

I do not have any SS Tropical Frogs and I have never seen any in the collections that I have had a chance to view. However; they could very well exist. Why not?

The following are the types of SS frogs in my collection:

1. WW1 98/05 Frog SS Property Marked

2. 98/05 Camp Manufactured Frog; SS Property Marked

3. 98/05 Period Manufactured Frog; SS Property Marked

4. 98/05 White Ersatz Leather Frog; Manufacturer's Stamp & Dated 1939; SS Property Marked

5. WW1 84/98 Bayonet Frog; SS Property Marked

6. 84/98 Camp Manufactured Frog; SS Property Marked

7. 84/98 Camp manufactured Frog; Unmarked

8. 84/98 Period Manufactured Frog; MFG STAMP; SS Property Stamp.

9. 84/98 White Frog; Manufactured by A. Fisher 1938; SS Property Marked.
