Description
Coming in its very scarce original "Wm.

The early rubber frog, with an oblong belly weight and its legs still attached and unbroken, is hand painted in green frog finish. This complete package includes a large black & white fold-out paper (15" x 8" when open), showing the Shakespeare Wooden Minnow, Rhodes Wooden Minnow, Revolution and Evolution, grading at least Ex-.
