These cute Christmas duck pillows were purchased about 10 years ago at an estate sale for my now-grown daughter. She is a duck lover and displayed them in her room at Christmas. They are handmade and were considered vintage when I bought them, so they are likely from the '70s or 80s and around 35 - 45 years old. They are both constructed of a sturdy cotton-poly blend fabric and pattern that was common in the mid 70s - 1980s (my mom was a seamstress and had a lot of this kind of material).
One duck is solid, bright fire engine red and the other is a beautiful red & white houndstooth check. The ribbons on their necks were there when we purchased them and I suspect have been there since these pillows were made. They were stored in airtight containers 11+ months out of the year and were taken out and displayed during the holidays. They have not been played with or used as actual pillows - they have only been on display. They are in wonderful condition - no stains, holes, tears, marks or loose thread. The colors are still bright & vivid and the stuffing is intact and still fluffy. They need to find a home where they can be enjoyed each year.
