Are there any reproductions available of old wooden yo-yos?
Yes, but currently only one. About 1994 or 1995 Dale Myrberg (a yo-yo Master from Utah) sent one of his mint condition Duncan Model “77” yo-yos to Brad Countryman, founder of What’s Next/B.C. Yo-Yos. Brad used the yo-yo to recreate a reproduction of Duncan’s most popular yo-yo. This model is still in production and available today. The only difference between the old model and the “New” model is the location of the registered trademark symbol on the halve; it’s now located to the right of the letter “n” in Duncan instead of above the word “Yo-Yo”. Perhaps Brad Countryman, considered by many to be the finest maker of mass-produced wooden yo-yos in the world, will some day reproduce other well known favorites such as the Duncan Seattlite or the Duncan Jeweled Tournament model (well, we can always wish and hope can’t we?).
