The Flat Top was a Duncan release sold in Canada. The Canadian version of the Duncan Concave. With different logo and smaller release numbers, the Flat Top is a difficult to find model.

Interesting choice calling this a Flat Top. The first "Flat Top" was made by Hi-ker in the USA. Hi-ker was owned by Cheerio, but Duncan bought out both Cheerio and Hi-Ker. Duncan could not call these yo-yos in Canada because the surviving portion of Cheerio owned the Trademark. Was calling this a Flat Top a shot at Cheerio? Using the name of one of their old products.

Some of the pictures are difficult to see because this one is still sealed in the original package. Collectible yo-yos are always more valuable when still in the original packaging, so it would be a mistake to open the package to photograph it.
