Metal Flower Frogs
I would collect metal flower frogs if I had room for another collection. Instead, inspired by the above photo from the Parker-Rutland Collection, I decided to collect photos and display them on this page.
Metal flower frogs came in an amazing variety of forms ranging from artistic sculptures to molded cages to collections of sharp pins. Wire contraptions remind one of Alexander Calder's beautiful mobiles.

Most metal flower frogs have attractive patinas ranging from iron rust to copper greens, and a collection displays a variety of different metals.

Notes:
- A number of the metal flower frogs shown on this page incorporate plastic and/or rubber in there design, and some that are made entirely of plastic have been included because they resemble metal flower frogs in design.
- While some of the flower frogs shown on this page may look identical to another and even have the same model number, they are all different in some way. For example, they may have different inscriptions on their bottoms as indicated in their annotations. This is similar to the way coins are collected in that they may have been manufactured at a different date or location.
