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 Cheerio Winner Cheerio Contest (1941) Exhibit #2791 Type Award Condition 7 Date 1941 Owner Rick Brough Compare Cheerio yo-yo contest winner beanie cap from the late 1930s to early 1940s. It was not unusual to have a parent pin--not sew--additional Cheerio contest patches to the brim of their child's cap. You can see the remnants of a safety pin just to the upper-right of the Winner Cheerio Contest patch. Unfortunately, the pinned award patch is missing. The hat fit the head of an 8-12 year old and was made out of cloth and stiffened felt. Compare with the I'm a Cheerio Champion cap from the same time period.
