 Sponsors and Curators
The Museum of Yo-Yo History is a labor of love, and we would not be able to stay up-to-date with exhibits without the support of our sponsors and curators. Big thanks go to One Drop Design and Duncan for supplying us with their latest models, YoYoExpert for their help and support, and to Cody Orr, TotalArtist and YoYoBrothers™ for allowing us to use their collections!
If you're a manufacturer, or just a big collector and you want to help support the Museum drop me at line at chimera@yoyomuseum.com

From the Duncan 1979 product catalog:
"This gift set contained one Professional model Yo-Yo with a Yo-Yolympics insert in each side, one Butterfly Yo-Yo for string tricks, one Satellite Yo-Yo with bulb and batteries for lighted tricks, and one 48-page booklet illustrating 36 advanced Yo-Yo tricks. Each Yo-Yo nests into a plastic tray, and is exposed through the clear window of the colorfully printed package. The Yo-Yolympics Championship Set will be presented to the nine Regional winners of the National Yo-Yolympics, so it is truely the 'set of the champions'."
The official Championship Set of the Duncan Yo-Yolympics included the following:
• Butterfly - one yellow body/orange side cap Butterfly. An all-time favorite among yo-yo enthusiasts. The unique design plus the Reslon (read: plastic) coated axle makes it great for string tricks.
• Professional - one white body Professional with blue logo and Duncan Yo-Yolympics in red text. The yo-yo of champions in here in the new, slim-line pro model, with the official Yo-Yolympics emblem on both sides. This yo-yo also has the Reslon (plastic) coated axle for less string wear and quicker reaction time.
• Satellite - one translucent orange Satellite. Centrifugal force of the Butterfly yo-yo turns on battery-powered bulb for light patterns in the dark. Two AAA batteries included. Super fun day or night, plus longer spin with the Reslon coated axle.
• Official Duncan Yo-Yolympics Trick book. This colorful 48-page trick book has 36 separate tricks, with proficiency ratings for each trick, as recognized by the Yo-Yo Players International. The self-teaching format is fully illustrated for quick and easy learning.
