This is the smallest wooden yo-yo model that Duncan ever manufactured. The Tournament shaped yo-yo was painted red and had a gold stamp. Interestingly, it was only available in the Perk Up, Boy giant novelty box card from My Merry.
Besides this tiny Duncan yo-yo, the box card also included a miniature plastic F-86 Sabre jet model and a miniature plastic Nike-Hercules missile model, both made by Revell. The yo-yo was never sold individually. However, it was included with other similar My Merry products, such as the My Merry Toy Closet set.
It is likely that the box card/gift set that contained this model of yo-yo is from the late 1950s to early 1960s because the Nike-Hercules missile -- a top secret weapon developed in the 50s and capable of carrying a nuclear warhead -- was not deployed by the US military until 1958.
