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 Headquarters for Contest Supplies poster Exhibit #3999 Type Advertising Condition Mint Date 1954 To 1963 Owner Rick Brough Compare A Cheerio store display sign advertising that the store was Cheerio headquarters for contest supplies. Those contest supplies would have included Cheerio-branded yo-yos, yo-yo string packs, and trick books. The sign was likely displayed in a store front window or somewhere inside the store near the Cheerio yo-yo display. Dating the sign is tricky. If you base the year on the string pack seen on the sign, it may be placed about mid 1950s through mid 1960s. The yo-yo to the right of Contest Supplies is an unknown Canadian model or just an illustration design and not any particular model. The text on the yo-yo's label says, from top to bottom, left to right: "TESTED & APPROVED FOR ALL TRICKS THE KIND THE CHAMPIONS USE OFFICIAL CHEERIO CHAMPION MADE IN CANADA TRADE MARK REG. FOR 2 HANDED PLAYERS" Other Views Sign, large 2005-2023 Software © David W. Hall & Grahame BaptieWright Content by David W. Hall & Rick Brough
