TV's Toy Duck Is On The Loose In Your Geneva Neighborhood

"Pawn Stars" featured item now has a new lease on life and a new home in Geneva!

If you are a fan of the History Channel's Pawn Stars, then you may recognize this 1939 toy duck that was featured on the show in late June. The toy duck was purchased by the World Famous Gold & Silver Pawn Shop during a TV episode by Mr. Harrison "The Old Man" (pawn shop owner) and "Chumlee" (the laid back fun-loving character who adds comic relief to the show).

An anonymous Western suburbs couple recently adopted the toy duck from the Las Vegas pawnshop and brought him home to Geneva.

Since then, the duck was named Stanlee Duck and now has a Facebook page where you can see the crazy videos and pictures of Stanlee Duck traveling throughout Las Vegas and elsewhere.  

"Everywhere we take a picture of Stanlee Duck, the duck is recognized by fans," said the new adopted parents. "It's amazing that kids from about 6 years old to adults over 70 came up to us to confirm that it is the TV toy duck. We had a lot of fun with him and even though he is old, I'm sure he's glad to be a played with toy again."

Recently, Stanlee Duck created a YouTube video for fire prevention month and also returned to Las Vegas for a chance to become a stand-up comedian.
