Ducks in transit - double-boxed

Ducks, we covet them, those with labels a little more, but have you ever wondered how they arrived in the shop?

I obtained this duck and box many years ago and had never seen one before, nor another one since.

The box says Duck S/S to indicate Small size, although very faded. This is a small size 5.5", in Arctic Blue, with factory label dating it to no later than 1963 approximately.
