 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

A Duncan Yo-Yo Top Contestant Award from about 1956 or 1957. On the back of the coupon, you were instructed to exchange the coupon at your neighborhood candy counter for a free bar of Bonomo's (pronounced BAH-nuh-mohs) Turkish Taffy. Bonomo Turkish Taffy is still made today (last accessed June 21, 2021).
Watch the Bonomo Turkish Taffy commercial from the 1950s!
This coupon was the equivalent of a participation award; that is, you won something just for entering the Duncan yo-yo contest.
Coupon expiration date was January 1, 1958.
Gold Medal Candy Corporation of Brooklyn, New York, was a sponsor of Duncan Yo-Yo contests going back to the early 1950s. As a yo-yo contestant, not only were you given a "valuable free coupon", but you also had the chance to earn a Bonomo's Turkish Taffy-branded Duncan patch.
See the following Bonomo's Turkish Taffy/Duncan Yo-Yo Winner patches:
• Bonomo's Turkish Taffy/Duncan Yo-Yo Winner patch, mid 1950s, version A
• Bonomo's Turkish Taffy/Duncan Yo-Yo Winner patch, mid 1950s, version B
• Bonomo's Turkish Taffy/Duncan Yo-Yo Winner patch, early 1950s
