About This Item

Rubber ducks have been around for about 65 million years. The modern rubber one is a little newer. Basically, it started with “vulcanized rubber”, the stuff that you drive on. In 1844, Charles Goodyear mixed it with chemicals and polymers to make it more durable and patented the process.

The origins of the rubber duck are a little murky, but it goes something like this: In the ’40s, the Rempel company of Akron, Ohio made the first iteration. It was a hollow, walking rubber duck with a sick mohawk. This duck was meant for land but, as indoor plumbing became more common in the ’50s, it found its way into suburban homes and bathtubs.

Contrary to popular belief, “rubber” ducks weren’t made of rubber for very long. Instead, as the bath toy became more popular, manufacturers opted for softened plastic. Later on, it changed to vinyl plastic. But the name rubber ducky has endured.

The travel bug tag as well as the duck are homemade.

Shake me. I rattle.
