Black and red wood Duncan Yo-Yos were made in Luck, Wisconsin. Ever wonder why they are all different sizes?
We can answer that question when you attend one of the exhibition convention sessions: March 4-5-6, 2010, part of the 15th Annual Yo-Yo & Skill Toy Convention, Burlington, Wisconsin.
~~~~Many early Duncan Yo-Yos also had the name "tops" on them because yo-yos are "return tops." See two thousand old and new yo-yos, patches, string packages, awards, posters and related memorabilia and enjoy the
company of others interested in yo-yos. Don't miss this unique opportunity!

Yo-yos and memorabilia:
Old, new, rare, & novelty yo-yos: Duncan, Royal, Flambeau, Cheerio, Goody, Hi-Ker, Royal, Yomega, Kuhn, BC, Fli-Back, Festival, & Dell. Premium & advertising yo-yos, butterfly yo-yos, & 1950's yo-yo award patches. Books, posters, and other surprising yo-yo items!
