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 Duncan 1956 Champ Award, style 1 Exhibit #2808 Type Award Condition Mint Date 1953 To 1957 Owner Rick Brough Compare Duncan Yo-Yo Top "Champ Award" embroidered patch, style 2.
