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 Duncan Yo-Yo Winner - Pepsi-Cola Exhibit #4962 Type Award Size 110mm tall Width 100mm wide Condition Mint Date 1950 To 1961 Owner Rick Brough Compare A shield-shaped Pepsi-Cola Winner cloth patch for a Duncan Yo-Yo contest, with Pepsi as the sponsor. The stylized Pepsi-Cola logo puts the date from 1950s - early 1960s. Red, white, and blue embroidery on cotton twill with a stabilizing gauze/scrim backing on the reverse. During the postwar yo-yo booms, Duncan partnered with major retailers and bottlers on neighborhood contests. Pepsi tie-ins were common: demonstrators ran store-front or schoolyard events, and winners received patches, ribbons, and buttons. This patch likely marks a local contest win under that joint promotion. See also another version of the Duncan Yo-Yo Winner - Pepsi Cola patch.
