American Spinners one-piece wooden yo-yo from their "Collector" series in a gorgeous jade green metalflake. Model number from their catalog is JG 306. The profile of the Collector had some resemblance to the Russell Coke yo-yos.

This model of yo-yo came out in 1990. By the mid 90s wooden yo-yos began to give way to mass produced plastic and metal yo-yos. By about 2004, the golden age of Tournament-style wooden yo-yos—the staple of yo-yo play since 1928—had all but disappeared.

Original retail price: $15 US.
