 Sponsors and Curators
The Museum of Yo-Yo History is a labor of love, and we would not be able to stay up-to-date with exhibits without the support of our sponsors and curators. Big thanks go to One Drop Design and Duncan for supplying us with their latest models, YoYoExpert for their help and support, and to Cody Orr, TotalArtist and YoYoBrothers™ for allowing us to use their collections!
If you're a manufacturer, or just a big collector and you want to help support the Museum drop me at line at chimera@yoyomuseum.com

When Royal began making reproductions of their yo-yos in early 2000s, they included this vintage patch for free with an order. It's unknown how a player earned this award when it was originally available in the 50s, although it may be categorized similarly to the year-dated Duncan Winner award patches.
A beautiful, balanced design.
