Vintage YO-YO's
The first Duncan Yo-Yo was the O-Boy Yo-Yo Top, the toy with a big kick for all ages. Duncan's massive factory produced 3,600 of the toys every hour making the factory's hometown of Luck, Wisconsin the YoYo Capital of the World. Duncan's early media blitzes were so successful that in Philadelphia alone, three million units sold during a month-long campaign in 1931. Yoyo sales reached its highest peak in 1962, when Duncan Yo-Yo sold 45 million units. Unfortunately, this 1962 hike in sales led to the end of Donald Duncan's Company. Advertising and production costs far outstripped even the sudden increase in sales revenues.The yoyo continues today, its latest honor is being the first toy in outer space.
