Late 1940s, early 1950s vintage yo-yo in dark green with a black stripe. Note the imprint of REG.U.S.PAT.OFF. in small font between the words "Yo-Yo" and "Duncan Tops".

This model is identical to the plastic version that was released by Duncan, also in the early 1950s. It was Duncan's first foray into plastic yo-yos.
