I'm going to start reducing my collection. Coming up in the future will be some great bands that I've collected over the years, some of which are almost impossible to find! Up for bid is a very nice vintage Federal Mallard Duck Band. This band is 100% authentic and was banded in Plum Island, Massachusetts on August 21, 1998. The Band had been reported but it also has a date on the band written by the hunter which I assume i...s the harvest date of 10-26-98 with magic marker. Comes with the Certificate that I received from the BBL. This is the TALL style "Write" band which was used just before the 1-800 styles. This tall style is hard to find since they only used them for a couple of years. The band also has 2 BB marks which adds a lot of character to it. Add this to your collection or put it on a lanyard. I sell quite a few through out the year so please watch my auctions. Rest assured that all the bands I sell are the real deal and not that fake crap that has flooded ebay!
