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!

These classic wooden yo-yos were typically a Canadian player's first introduction to yo-yo. Both the Olympic and Pro models were initially released in 1968 and continued to be sold under various toy company names until about 2005. Some design and text changes to the stamped seal have also been made over the years but the body shape has essentially remained the same all these years. These basic yo-yos were manufactured by Elfverson, based out of Sweden, between 1968 and 2005. Between 1986 and 1995 Canada Games sold approximately 1.5 million Pro and Olympic yo-yos.
