Perhaps one of the rarest boxes ever found is this 2 piece green cardboard picture box for the "Stage" frog. The baits are considered somewhat scarce and most definitely desirable, but this box is one of very few known examples. Frog is the short, chunky model and measures 2-7/8" to the bottom of the lip, and features a hand painted green, black, yellow, and orange finish. Tiny glass eyes and unique hardware on this very good+ example showing wear and rubs. The boxis strong and crisp, showing light staining, otherwise can be considered excellent- or better and is classified as rare. A must for the committed frog collector.
