I don't remember playing my frog record very often--we had Voice of Music rig, the changer sat down inside a wooden box so it was hard to see the images in the mirrored spindle.
The records themselves were more expensive than regular records and my old man was a world-class tightwad so the froggy record was the only one we had.
The record didn't last long--this had to be in the 1950's, and my younger brother was a menace. I still remember him breaking 45s over his head (one of them was the Colonel Bogey March from Bridge Over The River Kwai)so he probably whacked the frog record, too.
The mirrored spindle stayed around for a long time though. We had a box of old toys in the corner of the basement and we'd go through them every once in awhile out of kiddie boredom. That spindle would always be there.

Found a couple more animated gifs but no frogs yet.
Still no frogs.
I think the one with tugboat was the flip side of the froggy rekkid.
I realized too late that bird was a red raven (not that, like, you know, it wasn't written in HUGE letter right in front of me peepers). He looks like Heckle or Jekyll.

At 7:30 remaining of the video the frog will appear!Scott T
I can't get enough of this!
I showed these to my wife, she thinks they're great (better than my acutal LPs, in fact).

.. My wife has one of these in terrific shape! It has Tootles the Tug on one side and The little Red Engine on the flip. Even though it's a 78 I thought I would try to play it. BAD idea!! I didn't stop to think about the tin outer perimeter band/edge, and my Benz Ace got within about a half an inch and 'WHACK"...the record just jumped/attracted right onto the cart!!!Alas, I was prepared for the worse, but no damage appears to have occured. Dumb!!!
THis was a fun thread tho, wasn't it.

I don't remember the Indians, only the frogs and the steamboats.
