SHAKESPEARE RHODES SWIMMING FROG IN WOOD BOX
Pre-1910 mechanical-action frog is in about Excellent Minus. The majority of the examples you find have broken legs or obvious repairs; however, this one appears to have avoided serious injury. Great folky paint, large round belly weight, and two rear single hooks, with one missing a tine. The box is in great condition, grading Excellent Minus or better, and the stampings on the lid & end are both vivid. From the Stephen & Christine Rebic collection. Lure: 3 - 3/4" L. Dimensions: BOX: 5 - 3/4" x 3" x 1 - 1/2".
