Hi,

Can anyone offer any info on this painting/print at all?  It is such an eye catcher and a pleasure to view.  I could not find a signature anywhere.  Painting or print is stuck to glass so am unable to assess what it is made of but is obviously thinner material.  Plaster of Paris frame has scratches and chips missing.  Left upper corner of picture and glass broke off. I can cover that with black and get it presentable but would really love any information on time period, style .. anything.  Thanks!

 This is a Full Molded Shoofly Duck Teetertot, circa 1964.   Teetertot Shooflys were manufactured by the Juvenile Playtime Products division of the Delphos Bending Company from 1945 to 1979.  There was very little change made to them during their production years and no date was stamped on the products to indicate the year they were manufactured.  We believe this Teetertot was manufactured in 1964 because the front of their 1964 catalog shows similar Ducks announcing "two new delphos ducks, full molded, beautiful plastic shooflys..."  Generally a shoofly had flat sides shaped like animals with a bench type seat in between. The only difference between this duck and the one on the front of the catalog is the small duck on the catalog did not have the springs and rockers, just the rockers. 

It appears this duck got hot at one point and melted two small indentions in the tip of the wings.  This can be seen in the pictures.  It also pebbled the forehead of the duck.  However there is no discoloration of the paint.  The seat belt is still intact which is amazing, to us, since these are usually the first things to go.  There are two small cracks under the seat of the duck as shown in the pictures. The label is still on the duck.  It is in great condition.  Especially for a plastic toy that is 46 years old.  Must bave been kept indoors all the time.  We have been unable to find another shoofly duck like it.
