A very hard to find award yo-yo made by Hummingbird from 1989. Came in the standard Hummingbird rainbow counter display box seen in this exhibit.
Maple yo-yo painted in a very subtle sparkle dark blue body, with a silver foil stamp that reads, top to bottom, left to right:
Humingbird [sic] Toy Company
2nd
SILVER
PLACE
AWARD 1989
The company's own name was spelled incorrectly on the stamp of the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place award yo-yos. The first place had the same stamp design but in gold foil; the third place also had the same stamp design but in bronze foil.
Because of the misspelling of the company name, these yo-yos were not produced in any significant number. A complete set is especially hard to find now. In 1989, at the Utah State Yo-Yo Championship at Trolley Square in Salt Lake City, Dale Myrberg awarded these 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place yo-yos to the respective winners. The year stamped on these makes them more valuable, as well.
