A Duncan Winner patch from a yo-yo contest sponsored by Time Star WKRC-TV.
WKRC-TV is Cincinnati Ohio's second-oldest television station. The station was owned by the Ohio-based Taft family, who also owned and published The Cincinnati Times-Star newspaper. On August 3, 1958, the Times-Star was sold to Scripps-Howard Newspapers, owners of The Cincinnati Post newspaper. The Post moved into the Times-Star Building in Cincinnati and published under the name The Cincinnati Post and Times-Star. On December 31, 1974, the newspaper reverted to The Cincinnati Post name. Based on this information, the patch in this exhibit is likely from around 1955 through 1958.
