"Chico" was another line of yo-yos ran by Joe Radovan, owner of Royal Yo-Yos. "Chico" was his nickname. The Chico line mirrored the Royal line in yo-yo design. That is, they used the same kiln dried wood blanks, and even similar logo designs. Unlike Royal yo-yos, however, Chico yo-yos are uncommon to find.

The yo-yo itself was made by Elfverson & Co. of Sweden, for Chico Tops Company. Despite the poor condition of the decal--hence the relatively low condition rating--the yo-yo itself is in mint condition and still sealed on the card. Unusual for this hard-to-find brand. Notice that "yo-yo" is crossed out on the front of the card. If you are a longtime yo-yo collector, you know why!
