Topic: Whitefriars Duck - silver or pewter? Help please :-)

[Pip]

Hi all, hubby bought this Whitefriars dilly duck but it's one of those pale colours that's really hard to work out.  I think it's probably either silver or pewter - the photo is a very good representation of the colour - whaddya reckon? TIA

[carolglass]

my vote is for pewter-both whitefriars sites have colour charts, they might be worth a look. regards Carol

[Pip]

Thanks for your reply Carol - I've been studying all the colour charts for a week or so now and my eyes have gone funny from trying to work it out!

[Pip]

Right, I may have answered my own question here but I'd appreciate Emmi or one of the other WF enthusiasts to confirm this to me if possible, but I don't think Whitefriars made ANY ducks in pewter, so I'm leaning towards silver again (it's definitely not any of the pale blues, or twilight or ocean green).

Hi Pip, i had the same peoblem with mine, nightmare isnt it, but you could be right with Silver.

They were not made in Pewter, so Silver it is!  Lucky you  BTW, is it going on ebay?  Emmi

[Pip]

oooooh great!  Thanks ever so Emmi and Sue   I'm undecided really about what to do with it - I'll probably sling it on eBay (only because I'm unsure what price I'd ask for it on my site - silver ducks are quite rare aren't they?)

WF Ducks all seem to do well on ebay Pip - only the red ones make sort of ordinary money, but the other colours seem very popular.

Yes, cheers for that Lynne however Silver was only in production for a couple of years in the early 1970s so is much harder to find than most of the other colours (apart from Sky Blue).

well, of course, if you had a sky blue one, you would be well on your way in the Modern House fund....
