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 solid red Genuine Duncan Whistling Yo-Yo Top with black seal, made out of tin, and likely from the late 1940s to early 1950s. Tournament-shaped. As with all Duncan tin whistling yo-yos, there are four holes on one halve and two holes on the other halve. Only side A had the Duncan imprint; the opposite side was blank.
Green and orange are the most common colors you find of this yo-yo model today. Less common colors include red, yellow, and brown.
A couple of things to check with Duncan tin whistler -- or any tin yo-yo for that matter -- is to ensure that the halves are securely attached to the axle and do not rotate on the axle. Also, because these were tin halves mounted on a metal axle, there was a tendency for the string groove to be narrower -- or wider -- on one area of the yo-yo. This effect was due to the halves being bent on the axle.
These solid color yo-yos from Duncan were retailed out of a counter display box.
Original retail price: cents US
