 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

The Duncan Velvet was basically a Duncan Imperial model covered with a nylon flocking to give it a fuzzy, velvet-like texture. The Velvet model came in a variety of flocked colors including pink, red, orange-brown (seen in this exhibit), yellow, green, light blue, purple, and black.
The Velvet debuted in 1972. Yo-yos from that year are stamped in gold or silver on the face of one halve with Duncan Velvet © 1972 FPC [Flambeau Products Corporation]. The yo-yo in this exhibit is such an example. Velvet yo-yos manufactured after 1972 and into about 1974 or 1975 are also stamped in gold or silver but do not have the copyright.
Original retail price: $1.49 US.
