$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 ...
$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 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 ...| Items 1 - 4 of 4 | Page 1 of 1 |
