I purchased a whole lot of cute froggies at an estate sale, this is the last of what I have. I do not know whether he is a hobbyist piece, he is not marked. What attracted me to him is that his body, front especially looks airbrushed, and there is definite contouring of the shapes. It does not show well in the photos. His nose has a couple of very small places that are lighter, and the felt-like material on the bottom comes up the side in a few places, shows very slightly when he's on a shelf.
