 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

The Kitchner Knobs Cheerio is the first Cheerio. Like the later models, the logo was a printed foil sticker, in the well known shape. Some of these are also stamped on the reverse. One version of the story says the ones for export carried the additional stamp, and only the Canadian versions just have the sticker.
The logo reads "Kitchner Buttons Limited, Buttons & Radio Knobs, CHEERIO, Yo-Yo, Kitchner Ont. Canada."
The ones carrying the reverse ink stamp, like this one, read "Pat. Pend. Reg., Design 752823, Made in Canada" in a oval with a large "99" below it.
Kitchner started making these for export to Great Britain and for sale in Canada right at the end of the first big world wide yo-yo boom started by Flores, Duncan, and Hiker of Canada. | |
