Duncan Tournament with four jewels on the face on four jewels on the opposite side. It's difficult to find these jeweled models with a straight line of four jewels added to the area in the middle of the stamped imprint. In production, the yo-yo had the jewels added first to both sides. Then, the stamp seal was added to one of the sides.
In almost all cases, the four jewels are spaced perfectly and in a straightline, but the entire row is usually slightly tilted in relation to the stamp. This tilt is fairly consistent across production of this model. The Tournament in this exhibit has the jewels at a very slight angle. Stamped with "Jeweled" on the face to indicate it's not a standard Duncan Tournament model. The jeweled model is fairly common to find, but often varies in condition and quality.
