Sorry Christine for any confusion.
The duck that started this thread has no feet - the body just sits on the round base. I thought I gathered from Anita's post that ducks with formed feet rather than a base were valued more highly in $$ terms. - perhaps I misunderstood?
I did wonder whether this duck could be uranium - the turquoise layer made me wonder, but I don't have a black light to try it.
Son has one in his room somewhere he says and will dig it out for me over the weekend, so if it glows I will post another photo. (I will get him the shovel so he can "dig") I wouldn't know where to start !
When the Carters lookalike duck arrives from Auckland I'll post another pic and pick everyone's brains again!
thanks all
JAK
