  (Asked by: username_0 on 2011-12-27)
  
  The [LEGO handmade wooden Duck](http://www.flickr.com/photos/blue-moose/3932223345/in/set-72157622407019674/) was released in 1935, long before the LEGO Brick was created. Many other wooden toys were made which can be seen in [The Lego Museum](http://www.flickr.com/photos/blue-moose/3932222651/in/set-72157622407019674/), the duck however features in books, LEGO's yearly [progress report](http://aboutus.lego.com/en-US/corporate/default.aspx) as well as being [made into a model out of LEGO bricks](https://brickset.com/sets/2011-2/LEGO-Duck)!
  
  I can't find any history of the Ducks being sold on eBay, judging by its age, sentimental value and low production rate it must be a priceless collector's item.

  As said by Ambo100, the duck was the first toy produced by the company.
  This animated short story has a [short glimpse of the duck](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NdDU_BBJW9Y&t=1m39s "Start at 1:39 out in the clip") in the design process by Ole Kirk Christiansen.
  
  The film is very interesting as an introduction to the origin of the LEGO company. Click the image below for the full film:
