Hi, I'm new here. I'm a complete amateur when it comes to antiques, but I love looking for them and Antiques Roadshow is one of my favorite shows.
Rarely do I ever find anything at a garage sale or its equivalent, but I couldn't help picking up this duck a little while back from a fundraiser at a local school. I got there as they were closing so they were almost giving stuff away.
And this may not be worth anything, but I can't help but wonder, because it looks kinda old to me.
It's a brass (or copper) and ceramic duck. It's a little smaller than an American football, and it's lighter than you would think. It's hollow on the inside. The ceramic parts look to be hand painted, and that's actually why I picked it up, because the ceramic and the paint look pretty old, although I have no idea how old.
There are no markings or letterings or labels of any kind on it.
I know this is probably nothing to speak of, but I can't help but be really curious about it, and thought I'd see if anybody here knew anything about this!
Thanks in advance.
