On the yo-yo's face, between "Duncan" and "Beginners" text is the head of Duncan's Mr. Yo-Yo also stamped in gold leaf. Back of packaging shows a cartoon drawing of Mr. Yo-Yo demonstrating how to do the Forward Pass trick; descriptive text was also added next to the drawings. A late 1950s to early 1960s version of the Beginner. Yo-yo used a pegged string or, as Duncan described it, an "[a]nchored string type".
