Pedro Flores dabbled in the yo-yo market after he sold his company to Donald Duncan, along the with the trademark for the word "yo-yo". Bandalore yo-yos were made after the sale of Flores Yo-Yo Company, but before his association with Royal, and the "Royal" Flores line. Date is uncertain, but best estimates put it in the early 1940s.

It is difficult to find a super mint condition Bandalore. The decal logo easily wore off with minor use, and paint lifting is very common on these, most likely due to use of wood not kiln dried in manufacturing.

Pictured here is a mint condition Green Bandalore with excellent decal.
