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

An early Country Wood Shop, Ltd. yo-yo made from Bolivian Rosewood. This moderately rare wood grows in Bolivia and Brazil with color ranges of brown, black, and red. Sometimes this wood also goes by the name of "Pau Ferro", "Morado", or "Santos Rosewood".
The "Executive" yo-yo line from this time period did not have any identification or other information stamped onto them. If these are purchased without their accompanying box, it is easy for the casual collector to mistake these for a common variety wooden yo-yo. As such, these yos should always be collected in their box. That way you know who made the yo-yo, and the wood from which it was made.
Came packaged with a velour pouch, extra strings, and a trick booklet. | |
