found this cheap on a local buy/sell site, Thinking it could be an OG freehand or freehand zero?  
looking pretty faded but aparently spins smooth :thinking:

Certainly looks like it could be a freehand. What do the guts look like?

you talking about the thing on the yoyo caps or the red cord? the red cord is probably a yoyo holder that can strap to a belt. The thing on the caps is giving me the heebee-jeebees, looks like 2 yeti’s doing a sack race. I bet that thing has wicked vibe.

Hiya !  
RE: Photo #1 - I dont have a lotta helpful info for ya…Buuutt…if you really, really wanted to find out exactly what kinda yoyo it is…you might wanna contact the company’s whos name is on the side.  
…as the yoyo itself was a promo thing for Tip Top Ice Creameries.

> **[New Zealand's Favourite Ice Cream - Tip Top](https://www.tiptop.co.nz/)**
>
> In a country with the world's best milk and cream, the sweetest fruit and richest flavours, it's no surprise Tip Top is the world's best ice cream.

RE: Photo # 2 - True it was a yoyo …in its former life. Not sure you really want that thing now…on close inspection of the photo with a magnifying glass…its been converted to jewelry. More specifically…a key chain (and an ugly one at that) as noted by the other key chains around it The side cap has been removed and those yeti thing have been glued into the yoyo. Who knows what condition the other isde is. The yoyo itself looks to be really small, probably a pocket yoyo. That alien key chain is probably only 1 1/2 in tall.

Ummmm…well…I thinks thats all I can figure out.

Good Luck.

Definitely not a Duncan. This is not manufactured by any existing “yoyo brand”, likely just sourced from a random factory in China and re-branded.

If it’s neat to play with doesn’t really matter what it is. I imagine it’s light and mildly cheap feeling.
