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

Goody Twirler Champion award patch, dated 1942. The shield shape and colors used on this patch are quite similar to the Duncan Yo-Yo Winner patch from 1942.. The main difference was that the Duncan patch was a heavy-gauge cloth with embroidery stitched letters, numbers, and a star. The Goody patch, on the other hand, used a cloth backing material as the base for the application of what appears to be red and blue paint in the background (it has heavy cracking throughout), along with a white and blue flocking that gave the letters, numbers, and star a texture similar to velvet.
Goody was a popular yo-yo brand that was marketed primarily in the eastern United States. Their patches are uncommon, and this particular patch is hard to find.
Besides their glamorous looking jeweled yo-yos, Goody's term for "Yo-Yo" was "Twirler" which helped to further distinguished them from Duncan and others. | |
