Secrets & Variations:
This ruddy duck box figurine is a very early piece and does not incorporate the hidden mouse or hallmarks.It may come with or without an interior egg (some cracked, some not cracked). The earliest moulds had “SAC.” This was eventually removed, and in September 1996, the HBC logo was added under the duck’s tail.
