Comes complete with prop and genuine automated duck call ! 
I could just see this used as a prop and in a Laurel and Hardy movie where they accidently shoot it and the parts fly over !

I wonder whether a prototype was ever built and tested. If so, I hope it was waterproof.

After the mechanism's immersion, I'm sure in a short time it would have sounded fowl.
Although now that I think of it, I can imagine some very amusing possibilities for mixing up the cylinders for duck decoys and talking dolls at the factory....
