Bonomo's (pronounced BAH-nuh-moh) Turkish Taffy Duncan Yo-Yo Runner-Up patch. Based on the back of the patch, it appears that you could iron it onto a piece of clothing.

Compare to the Winner version of this patch which has a larger diameter.

The exact year that this patch was issued is unknown, but the simple design and single red color suggests it may be from the late 1940s or early 1950s. "Bonomo's Turkish Taffy" and "Turkish Taffy" became registered trademarks in the U.S. in 1946. Unfortunately, there is no "TM" next to the name on this patch or even the Bonomo's Turkish Taffy patches from the mid to late 1950s.

Very hard to find.

This patch may have been the forerunner to the more familiar -- and popular -- three-color Bonomo's Turkish Taffy/Duncan Yo-Yo Winner shield patch from the mid to late 1950s.
