$65 USDGerman Tin Advertising Yo-Yo – Durodont, Red and Blue
Collectibles:Toys:Yo-yos:Tin Advertising
This cheerful, multi-colored tin yo-yo advertises... you got it... toothpaste! Probably made in the 1950s or 1960s, it was given out to encourage parents to buy Durodont toothpaste - only 90 pfennig (German pennies) at the time. One side of this little toy has a boy in striped pajamas brushing his white teeth. The words say (in translation): 'DURODONT toothpaste - it tastes great!'. The blue side says: '200x pearly clean teeth with DURODONT for 90 pfg' (pfennig). This is a smallish yo-yo, at ...
$265 USD1950 Duncan Yo-Yo Trophy for a Girl
Collectibles:Toys:Yo-yos
From 1950, here is one of the rarest Duncan trophies to ever be awarded: a trophy for a girl champion. While there were many girls who did play with yo-yos in the ‘40s and ’50s, it was mostly considered a boy’s toy. But Donald Duncan was a very smart marketer, knowing that not including girls in his marketing effort would have been a major mistake. As a result, he encouraged girls to enter the Duncan competitions. The trophy plaque and base are not without their problems. The wood has some dings ...
$75 USD1950s German Tin Advertising Yo-Yo – Erdal and Waxa
Collectibles:Toys:Yo-yos:Tin Advertising
This colorful advertising yo-yo dates back to the middle of the 20th century – probably the fifties. The front advertises Erdal shoe polish. Erdal polish was manufactured by the Werner and Mertz Company, which still exists today. The company began in the late 1800s; the Erdal name was created in 1901 and shortly after that the red ‘frog prince’ became the company’s trademark and mascot. The other side advertises Waxa floor polish. Waxa was another brand owned by the Erdal company. The frog has ...
$65 USDAdvertising Tin Yo-Yo – HOW!
Collectibles:Toys:Yo-yos:Tin Advertising
A cheerful graphic figure raises its hands on this colorful advertising yo-yo, possibly from Belgium. The letters HOW are spelled across the figure. Underneath on one side are the words LE MAGICIEN DU LESSIVAGE (French for ‘Magician of Scrubbing’). On the other side are the words GOOCHELT MET HET VUIL. Unfortunately we have not been able to translate this side! Condition is excellent, with just a few very fine scratches on the face and some edge wear. Otherwise the colors are bright and clean. ...
$57 USDBelgian Tin Advertising Yo-Yo – Cichorei de Beukelaar
Collectibles:Toys:Yo-yos:Tin Advertising
This advertising yo-yo has a wonderful graphic of a woman in traditional headdress hoisting a cup of hot… chicory drink! Chicory root has been used for years, particularly in Europe, as a cheap substitute for coffee. Its use was especially prevalent during war when coffee was scarce, which leads us to believe that this yo-yo dates to either before or shortly after World War II. The de Beukelaar Chicory company was in business during that time. Both sides of the yo-yo show the same picture. This ...
$25 USDDuncan Incredible Hulk Yo-Yo MIB
Collectibles:Toys:Yo-yos
For that Incredible Hulk in your life, here is a mint in box Duncan Yo-Yo from 1978. It could even be you, when you look in the mirror! Mr. Hulk was captured in three different yo-yo versions. This one is the non-flicker version with the large Hulk face and double black border around “HULK”. Of the three types, this is the most difficult to find. The yo-yo comes in the original store-hanging display case, which is labeled Duncan. While there are wear scratches on the case, the yo-yo is mint. It ...
$95 USDDuncan Big G Genuine Whistling Metal Yo-Yo
Collectibles:Toys:Yo-yos
From the late 1940s, here is a very nice Duncan metal whistling yo-yo. Duncan didn’t make their own tin yo-yos but sub-contracted to the Cayo Company. Duncan tin yo-yos are very hard to find in good condition. They usually have rust, scratches and dents. This particular yo-yo is one of the best we’ve seen. It does have some of the characteristic scratches and edge-wear from being “walked”, but no rust. The stamp is excellent and the colors are bright and shiny. This yo-yo displays very well.| Items 1 - 7 of 7 | Page 1 of 1 |
