Kusan made several types of these special yo-yo and top hybrid models in the 1950s. A Combination yo-yo and spin top made unique tricks possible. The top and yo-yo combination was nothing new, going back well into the 1800s. But Kusan's were probably the first ones made from durable plastic, and popular during the time.
