A late 1970s or early 1980s pinback promotional or novelty button connected to Parker Yo-Yo. The front art shows a cartoon figure with a yo-yo for a head, performing a trick. The phrase "How's Tricks?" is a play on "How’s tricks?" meaning "How are things going?"
The back shows a typical older pinback button construction with the following:
* Yellow printed celluloid or plastic-covered front
* Metal crimped rim
* Fiberboard/cardboard back
* Simple wire pin and catch
* Noticeable heavy oxidation and age toning on the back
The pinback's construction is typical of inexpensive promotional buttons from the 1970s–1980s.
The pinback was likely distributed by a Parker Yo-Yo demonstrator through a school yo-yo contest, demonstration, or local Parker Yo-Yo campaign in a Canadian town or city near the US border.
