A Duncan Yo-Yo Top Contestant Award from about 1956 or 1957. On the back of the coupon, you were instructed to exchange the coupon at your neighborhood candy counter for a free bar of Bonomo's (pronounced BAH-nuh-mohs) Turkish Taffy. Bonomo Turkish Taffy is still made today (last accessed June 21, 2021).
Watch the Bonomo Turkish Taffy commercial from the 1950s!
This coupon was the equivalent of a participation award; that is, you won something just for entering the Duncan yo-yo contest.
Coupon expiration date was January 1, 1958.
Gold Medal Candy Corporation of Brooklyn, New York, was a sponsor of Duncan Yo-Yo contests going back to the early 1950s. As a yo-yo contestant, not only were you given a "valuable free coupon", but you also had the chance to earn a Bonomo's Turkish Taffy-branded Duncan patch.
