Just Ducky

Aren't these just the cutest?  They are Ducky Baby Blanket Fasteners and the beaks hold the corners of the blanket and the ties fasten onto the crib or stroller to keep the blanket on the baby.  The ducks are made of celluloid and are probably from the late 1940's.  They are still in their box!!

Here is a neat metal rabbit pair from 1928, currently for sale for $45.00!

Apparently these clips are still being made.  No doubt because they are a great invention.  Here is a pair from Japan.  Another set from Japan showing how to use them.

Here is a link to a beautiful set made when silk ribbon was still obtainable.  On Ebay for $38 with 4 days left.  Wish I had a job!

This auction is for an empty box with beautiful graphics from the '20's for a set of Snugins Coverlet Fasteners.

Finally, a link to a set like mine, but probably later and the ducks are not two-toned and the ribbons are twill.

Here is a link to an Ebay auction of PINK ones in the box with instructions on the back!  Ends in 3 days and NO Bids!
