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 Duncan Bang-a-ball two-handed award Exhibit #4777 Type Award Color Gold/Red/White Condition Mint Date 1962 Owner Rick Brough Compare Duncan Bang-a-Ball two-handed award patch from the early 1960s. Duncan Bang-A-Ball was not a yo-yo, but rather a paddle ball toy, part of Duncan’s broader product line during the mid-20th century. The player would hold the paddle and try to hit the attached ball repeatedly, keeping a rhythm. Marketed as "The Return Ball with the Bongo Beat!". It was often sold as a skill toy, similar to how yo-yos and tops were marketed — with the emphasis on developing hand-eye coordination and performing tricks.
