Tiny frog pin cushion

[wendy177]

Hi all found this little guy while going through some things tonight. Anyone know anything about them?? I know I have seen them before but, well lets just say the recall is not what it used to be    he is very tiny and was in with all sterling silver stuff, magnet does not stick. He has markings on one of his Little feet but can not make it out even with a loop imprint is  just not clear.  Any help would be great.
Thanks

Hi Wendy!  Is there any scent to him?

Have seen these in the past that you would put your perfume on the cushion.

Hi KC No scent at all  ,Thanks Fancy he is so small & cute!! I found many similar but can not find a frog hugging the cushion like mine most cushions are on the animals back.  http://www.ifranks.com/silverware/pincushions/pincushions.html

I found one for sale here, for $35. There is no information about the age or the maker though. However I know that the figural animal pincushions are highly collectable. The older and more unique the better though, and I'm not sure about this one.

Tales that looks like the little guy!!!!  Can't be very old but he is still cute.. thanks!!!!!!

You're welcome! If he's already worth $35 and he's that tiny I think he'll be worth even more soon. He most definitely has the cute factor going for him!

I thought you said it was a pin to wear!  Oops.

Otherwise....a pin cushion!
