Is This a Duck?

[fairangel]

I dug this today, it was about 4-5 inches down. It looks like a duck but I can't figure out what it would have come off of. Any ideas?

Is it copper? Could have been a make shift decoy head for duck hunting

 

[fairangel]

I don't think it's copper. I cleaned it with a brush and the color that comes through is more a gold color than copper but I know it's not gold.

Does it quack like a duck?

Buckles, you beat me to that line! Love it! Breezie

How many inches tall is it?

 

[Bigcypresshunter]

Aflac. I dont know what it is but leaning toward not a duck.

Aflac Insurance Company Key Chain??

BuckleBoy, I haven't heard it quack yet.

Breezie, it's 2 1/4" tall but it's broken off at the bottom; I don't know if that's where it was attached to something else or what.


Shanegalang, it's to heavy for a keychain and it has the pin on the back side that makes me think it had another side to it or was made onto something else.

Maybe part of a trivet

 

[fairangel]

mojjax; you may be right since it has the pin on the back.

 

[Bigcypresshunter]

Maybe part of a trivet

If its very heavy maybe a possibility. http://www.wildlifewonders.com/ducktrivet.html

On the other hand, if you turn it upside down or sideways, its not a duck anymore.

You have convinced me. I am now leaning towards not a duck. Does it float or sink?

 

[fairangel]

It sinks

Looks a LOT like a trivet foot, sticking up from it - how tall is that part? could it be brass?

 

[fairangel]

It's 2 1/4" tall, however it is broken off on the bottom, maybe where it was attached to something.

I meant the cone-like "foot" sticking out from it. My trivet feet vary, but are about 1/2 inch tall.
