This ceramic duck has been in the same family since the 1960's. It was given to the original owner as a Christmas gift. It is unknown exactly what year it was made or if it was hand made and painted or commercially produced. A grandchild of the original owner inherited the duck and it is a private collection in NW Iowa today:
