Back in the day, here on the eastern part of Long Island, there were many several duck farms in the 1920's-1960's. Many of them closed due to the waste situation which was getting out of hand and polluting the bays and connecting waters.

Here is the link where he got the sign which has my posting of the L.I. Duckling sign that currently resides inside the big duck in Flanders....

I know of 6 originals...2 on ebay and 4 local to me....The Big Duck one, and at least 3 in private collections which includes the one I threw an offer at last year of $600. I was testing the waters on that. They wanted more than double I believe and just didn't know what they were worth to be honest. Now I wish I had made the investment....Oh, well. LOL!

The bid is still the same, but the bid count has gone up one! Means the high bidder has raised his own bid and now has an absentee bid in place!!!
Wonder how high he went? Guess we'll find out if someone else bids!!!

I would have to guess that this duck sign was a very good "quick flip" investment!

I almost fell out of my chair I laughed so hard. I don't see the point in making t shirts of something 99.99% of people in the world haven't heard of. I mean there can't be too many people who would buy one.
