frog DISH BY UNKNOWN MAKER The example frog shared to Hartung's book was courtesy of Mr. and Mrs. De Layne Eigenberg of Fairbury, Nebraska. Like the matching Turtle in Hartung's Book 5, parts of the Frog were painted black. I have seen a handful of Pastel Green Iridescent Frogs online for sale. The bases are marked but I do not recognize the maker's mark. You may view one here: https://www.worthpoint.com/worthopedia/vintage-frosted-satin-green- glass-1901990829 and here: https://www.ddoty.com/coveredfrog.html This is the mark seen on Pastel Green Iridescent Frogs with painted black eyes.

Co-op produced the Frog 1927-1931. Erskine bought the mold in 1934 when Co-op went out of business. In 1937-1938, Erskine poured the Frog and sold 2 dozen Frogs to L.G. Wright. They may have sold more to Wright, but we can only prove what Wright's 1938 Inventory showed, 2 dozen. The colors produced for Wright are not known. Between 1960's-1970's, Erskine produced the Frog again in these colors: Dark Amber (Beer Bottle), Black Milk Glass, Crystal, Crystal Satin, Green, Olive Green, Smoke, Pink and White milk glass. Other colors possible. Early Erskine Frogs for Wright were unmarked. Later Erskine Frogs were marked with Red/Gold foil labels which read Glass by Erskine Wellsburg W.VA. Because this Frog was produced using the original Co-Op mold, mutual colors in Green and Pink are difficult to ID. Unless Erskine labels are still present, one would need to view Co-Op and Erskine Frogs side by side to see a difference in colors. Co-Op produced higher quality glass. Erskine Frog is 5 1/2" long. I had no Erskine Frog photos to share.
