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 Duncan Bang-a-ball Exhibit #2085 Type Production Condition Mint in Package Date 1962 To 1963 Owner Rick Brough Compare A paddle ball toy briefly marketed by Duncan in the early 60s. Marketed as the only return ball with an adjustable elastic band. Specially constructed hitting surface allow for faster return and greater control of ball. Notice the Duncan Yo-Yo Man character, donning a straw hat, used on the back of the package. This short-lived Duncan toy was essentially an oversized paddle ball. Dale Myrberg, 1996 World Yo-Yo Champion, would simultaneously use a paddle ball and a yo-yo in his shows. It was an impressive display of dexterity, hand/eye coordination, and trick inventiveness.
