Museum Archive: Vintage Fred Arbogast Seein's Believin' green leopard frog (1970s), 1/3oz green leopard frog fishing lure #18477

Measuring 2 3/4" (7 cm) in length, the body of this vintage Fred Arbogast specimen showcases the iconic 'Seein's Believin' green leopard frog colorway. Weighing 1/3 oz (10 g), the finish consists of bold black spots over a yellow-green upper, transitioning into a creamy white belly with a soft pink accent under the head. A primary focal point is the wide metal lip, which is clearly stamped with the manufacturer's name and patent information and secured with screw-in hardware. This lure, cataloged as product code 18477, is equipped with two belly-mounted treble hooks that remain well-anchored to the frame. Its condition is rated at a soft 4/5, showing light cosmetic wear consistent with a 1970s piece while retaining vibrant color. The oversized painted eyes, featuring yellow irises and large black pupils, complete the classic predatory profile of this surface lure.
