From https://leatheryoyoshop-fe.stores.jp/:
"The all-leather Whiffle yo-yo prototype by Leatheryoyoshop of Japan.
The design is finished in pursuit of increased rotational power while maintaining the lightness of Leatheryoyo depth S. It is leather yo-yo with the image of the breeze. This is a prototype without a stamp.
About maintenance
At first, the return is very strong, so throw it lightly. There are some parts that become glossy and some parts that become rough as you use it, so apply a thin layer of Tokonole to the surfaces and edge of the leather and polish it with a soft cloth. Also, if the body and accelerator part become easy to disassemble, apply a little synthetic rubber adhesive such as G clear to the accelerator [axle] part and fix it. In the initial state, it is not adhesively fixed so that it can be disassembled and replaced."

Of interest...
From the owner of leatheryoyoshop: This is a personal online shop that started with the idea of making historic yo-yos with leather, a material that has never existed before. Since it is made of leather, if you use it carefully, you will become familiar with the feeling you like and you will not be able to part with it. In addition, the material is not exactly the same and it is finished by hand, so it is your own item. By all means, try the world's first leather yo-yo with a leather counterweight. | |
