I have a small collection (yes I am one of those who actually buys them)of mounted toads and frogs. I 'specialize' in collecting those playing musical instruments (although, I must admit I haven't ever found them any other way!)I actually have what I would consider some very unique groupings and very well done pieces. I am curious...where does this come from? Is this a beginners project? A boy scout thing? A bored taxidermist? Or a joke on me? I gotta say I gotta have them! They look great in my music room!

They fall under the broad heading of "Novelty Taxidermy". Whim of the creator type art. Now if you ever run across a pack of dogs sitting around a card table......that would be a find...lol
MEXICO!..They also come from the countries in central and south america. I have seen many of them in little sombreros and mexican ponchos. If ya ever make it to one of the Mexican border towns, just go into any souvenir shop and you will find the mother load...gracias muchacho...vaya con dios....ole'
