The Duncan Official Mickey Mouse Club Yo-Yo Return top, No. 1451. Considered version 2, polybagged.
At the end of Duncan's fiscal year, May 31, 1963--which also marked the annual conclusion of their promotions for the season until Fall--Duncan switched from using polybags to using blister cards (also known as bubble cards) for their product. A blister carded version of this yo-yo, also seen below, was released in the Fall of 1963.
Both the poly-bagged and blister card editions are identical and are considered version 2. Side B of version 2 says, "Duncan Imperial Jr. - Duncan Yo-Yo Return Tops." On the other hand, the very hard-to-find version 1 edition has a single head of Mickey Mouse on side A while side B says, "Mickey Mouse Club - Duncan Yo-Yo Return Top".
Besides the move to bubble cards, May 1963 also marks the time that Duncan began to switch from using alphanumeric and two- and three-digit stock codes to using all four-digit stock codes. Knowing this information can help you date early to mid-1960s Duncan yo-yo products. | |
