My name is Ken and I no longer yo. My first yo-yo was bought for me by my mother about 1958 or so. It was a yellow Duncan Imperial and I used it for many years. If I remember right it cost around 29 cents. Big money for a kid at the time.
I am no longer able to use a yo-yo due to my age. Over the years I have purchased many yo’s and still have them. I am hoping to sell them soon and want them to go to someone who will appreciate them.
I am going to attempt to post one photo that shows some that I have.

I am definitely old and my hands are going downhill but I still love my yoyos!

Steve,
I am really not planning on keeping any of them, but hard to let them go.

I used to walk the dog, rock the baby, and round the world, but really can’t now.
I have taken more then a few hits to the forehead over the years but was always able to carry on.

A few more. Note some of the photos overlap each other and may show the same yo-yo twice.
Some of these are fairly recent reproductions.
I think that is all for today!

I guess I stepped on some forum rules, my error. Many of my yo-yo’s are kept up high and I have some difficulty with ladders, but have done a quick re-shoot or my yo-yo’s. My apology for not abiding by the rules.

Not in 1958 and more like $1.29, but my first Yo-Yo was a Yellow Gold metal Imperial as well. Took all my net worth to purchase it. Still have it some 50 years later.

Hello Jeff! I mostly bought them a couple here and a couple there. never occurred to me that they would be collectable some day.

Wish I still had my original Imperial. I really liked that yo-yo. I grew up in a small town of about 20,000 people, and Duncan Company, as far as I remember, never had a tournament there. I was not good enough to compete, but I sure wish I could have watched some yo-yo competitions.

Don’t know that you broke any rules. As far as I can tell you’re just showing what you have.
