This is a little frog was a gift from a friend of my parents. He gave it to me after I was grown. His wife nearly killed him, because she still saw the little 7 year old I was when she met me...
Anyways, he is very heavy, for his size, and has male attributes that are 3/4 his size...
The metal looks brass on top, but it's a silver color on the bottom. I've cut his bottom pic in half to keep the site family oriented... I just wanted to show the color on his underside.
Any ideas???
looks to me like a Chinese bronze...
funny enough, chinese would have been my last guess. I saw one on the web that said it was from Baltimore. It is a bit more elaborate than mine, but all the important 'parts' are there...and they were asking $139 for it!!!! wow...mine isn't for sale, but jeeze, $139 for that?!?!?
I don't know where they were made, but I'll bet a lot were. They were a very popular "Novelty Item" one could purchase a head shops back in the 60's quite riskie' for the average Joe.... If some one can get $139.00...............more power to 'em !
I figured it was way out of range, but a girl can dream, no?
I will keep an eye on that other one to see if it sells...
