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!

The last version of Rainbow made by BC/What's Next. The Rainbow versions were numbered 49 (1997), 50 (1998), 51 (1999), and 52 (2004; seen in this exhibit). A fixed axle yo-yo in a tournament (aka classic, standard, or imperial) configuration. Gold foil seal. Came with one extra string, a red velour pouch, and a small owners manual. This model is quite difficult to find now. The classic tournament configuration shape continues to be a standard workhorse design by so many yo-yo makers, past and present, including Country Workshop, Hummingbird, BC/What's Next, and now Tom Kuhn, all companies run by Brad Countryman.

Original retail price: $15 US.
