Other than missing the belly weight this early frog is in better condition than most, the legs are still semi-pliable and the frog finish is bright, the body with general wear, rubs, expected age lines and an old over-varnish. The early Shakespeare box is correct, one end with factory printing "Rhodes Mechanical Swimming Frog No. 3 G W F Pat. Oct. 31, 1905, July 3, 1906", but the original slide lid has a photocopy of a label glued on. An affordable example of a very tough combination.
