With their 50th Anniversary year in 2009, Whitby Glass has a rich heritage.  The first of the company's hallmark Lucky Ducks was originally made at the request of actors at Whitby Theatre who required a lucky charm in glass.  Made at the workbench in the shop, the public can actually watch the creation of ducks and also view a map on the wall behind the bench which shows the most remote destinations to which Lucky Ducks have been sent. Testimonials to the remarkable influence of Lucky Ducks now fill several files. They have been credited with the ending of a drought in the South of France; the happy addition of a boy to a family where the first three children had been girls: financial winnings from small sums to thousands of pounds; success in exams and competitions and even romantic engagements!
