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 Parker Pro Tournament Exhibit #2379 Type Production Shape Standard (-) Axle Fixed Finish Painted Packaging None Construction One piece wood Response None Gap Fixed Condition Mint Date 1978 Owner Rick Brough Compare What the Duncan "Imperial" yo-yo was to kids in the USA, the one-piece Elfverson "Pro" yo-yo (and "Olympic" model) was to kids in Canada. These very popular, classic wooden yo-yos were typically a Canadian player's first introduction to yo-yo. In 1978 National – the Olympic and Pro yo-yo distributor from 1968-1977 – became the Parker Brothers Company. Parker released this particular version of the Pro. It included an updated stamped seal with the Parker name added to it. Approximately 585,000 Pro Tournament yo-yos and 285,000 Olympic yo-yos were made. Compare with similar versions from National, Canada Games, Playtoy, and Irwin Toys. Other Views Profile Front, angled, large Face 2005-2023 Software © David W.
