A photograph postcard of the Duncan Yo-Yo manufacturing plant in Luck, Wisconsin taken October, 1961. This is where it all happened. (Don't get too excited.)
Notice the stacks of lumber in the middle, far left of the picture. All that maple wood was waiting to be kiln-dried, then turned into the beloved toy. You can also see where an extension was added to the left of the white building.
