Museum of Yo-Yo History


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

Same as the Hasbro Yo-Yo Pencil on the mint card, but without the full-length card; instead, a small round header card was inserted between the yo-yo halves. The pencil itself says "Midnight Hard Charcoal". The pencil is original with the tiny yo-yo. Most are unaware that in Hasbro's early years they manufactured pencils under the brand name "Empire Pencil".

This version of the pencil, with a small round card mounted at the top, is much more common and easily found than the version mounted on a full length card.
