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 Festival Screamer (1972) Exhibit #1962 Type Production Shape Standard (-) Axle Fixed Packaging Bubble Carded Construction Multi-piece metal Response None Condition Mint in Package Date 1972 Owner Rick Brough Compare The Screamer is an all-metal yo-yo with a "trick string". It is one of the last tin whistling yo-yos that have been made. This model was made from the about 1967 to 1972. Festival Products originally marketed this product. The Screamer was a whistling yo-yo made of tin in the "Duncan Tournament Shape". Airholes in the rim cause a whistling sound when the yo-yo spins. The blister card carried a pre-printed retail price of 69 cents. In this case, the price was torn from the upper-right corner of the card. Festival Toys, from this time period, were made by Union Wadding Company of Pawtucket Rhode Island. This yo-yo is still in its original--though a bit damaged--packaging which has a very "psychedelic" look to it. Easy to date!
