What is the history of the rubber duck?
The history of the rubber duck is not completely definitive. Though it’s linked to common use of rubber by the end of the 19th century to manufacture all sorts of household items, there is a lack of hard evidence pointing to a distinct “first” rubber duck. So far as we can tell, Jodie Davis, author of Rubber Duckie, has the definitive documentation on the history of rubber ducks. All we can say is, check out her book. And, whats better than this: if you buy the book new, you get a rubber duck with it!
