Thanks, will have to get a close up, it is a original L. C. Tifanny Favrille (frog) pen holder, made in the 1920's-30's.
I looked up pen frogs..nada,I guess they went the way of desk blotters. So you will have the market on them Steve.
For those who don't know what a pen or for that matter a flower frog is, here's a picture of a flower frog. Bet you've seen them at your Grandma's house. Some times they have no holes but tiny spikes.

They resemble tooth brush holders. The really short ones are for flowers that have weak steams and would droop in a vase. You drop the frog down in the vase and put each stem in separatetly. That keeps them upright in the vase. The pen holders are the same pinciple but taller.
Thanks for posting the pics! You guys are really doing a wonderful thing here. I know you all hear it daily but THANK YOU ALL. The commitment you all show to customer satisfaction and product quality is truly impressive and admirable. You are demonstrating an excellent business model and it is very obvious that you all take a lot of pride in your work and it shows in everything that you do.
I don't want to sound too dramatic or anything but in reality you quite possibly saved my life or at the least added many years to it!![]()
