 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

The Spin-A-Bell is something completely different in the history of the yo-yo, and very different for Goody Manufacturing as well. And perhaps the rarest of all the Goody models. Concave shaped with a wooden axle, rivoted together through the wooden axle. The halves are similar to, if not the same as, the outer shells of a bicycle bell. Through the rivot, inside the wooden axle, runs a thick metal rod, bent into each yo-yo half. Throw the yo-yo, and the rod chimes inside the bells, and when you catch the yo-yo. With wide gap and sleeper string, decent sleep times were possible with this yo-yo, and some basic string tricks.
The Goody logo stamps are difficult to find in good condition, because they did not work well on the polished metal, and rust is very common on these. | |
