The Duncan Velvet was basically a Duncan Imperial model covered with a nylon flocking to give it a fuzzy, velvet-like texture. The Velvet model came in a variety of flocked colors including red (seen in this exhibit), green, pink, yellow, orange-brown, purple, light blue, and black. Other colors may also exist.
The Velvet debuted in 1972. Yo-yos from that year are stamped on the face of one halve with "Duncan Velvet © 1972 FPC" [Flambeau Products Corporation]. Velvet yo-yos manufactured after 1972 and into about 1974 or 1975 do not have the copyright stamp. The yo-yo in this exhibit is such an example.
Original retail price: $1.49 USD.
