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 Official Champion wing, ver. 1 Exhibit #3373 Type Award Size 127 mm tall Width 260 mm Condition 9 Date 1952 Owner Rick Brough Compare A large Official Cheerio Champion wing patch from the early to mid 1950s, won by Gerald Schick. The patch is 260 mm wide x 127 mm tall. Cheerio award patches were almost always made from felt and were not color-fast. As a general rule, you should never try to clean a Cheerio felt patch. This patch is considered version 1. Note that "CHEERIO" is embroidered in italicized lettering. Version 2 has block lettering, instead. A very subtle difference. See this patch being worn by Canadian yo-yo demonstrator Allan Howard Graff circa 1952. Compare this patch with the Cheerio Contest Winner patch also from the early 50s.
