Essentially identical to the Duncan - Yoffy (1983) ribbon yo-yo and the Imperial Toy Corporation - E-Z Go Ribbon Yo-Yo (1987) except that this version uses the term "YOYO" on its packaging.
Plastic body halves with a flat, one inch wide cloth ribbon pegged to the axle. While neither the yo-yo or the packaging has any information about where it was made or by whom, it was manufactured by a company called Marchon, Inc., an international toy manufacturing and marketing company. Marchon had substantial experience at sourcing toy products in the Far East. The business was established about 1982. In 1994 Marchon was acquired by Empire of Carolina, an American Stock Exchange company, and also a toy company. By November 2000, Empire Industries, Inc. filed for reorganization under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code. In July 2001, Empire sold their toy operations to Alpha International Inc.
