Museum of Yo-Yo History


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!

According to the individual I bought this yo-yo from, this version of Big Brother Wedgie yo-yo seen in this exhibit was one of two that were made for the OK (Oklahoma) State Yo-Yo championship in June 2009. Whether it was a contest award or given away at the contest is not known. The Wedgie was a butterfly configured yo-yo made out of 6065 aluminum and used a size A ball bearing axle. Some Wedgie editions used flowable silicone for the response and other editions used rubber O-rings. This model was the sophomore release from Big Brother Yo-Yo Company.

Big Brother Yo-Yo Company was an obscure, short-lived boutique brand started by Douglas Spence in 2008 and based out of Woodbury, Minnesota.
