Anyone know if this butterfly originally came with these two different colored sides? This is from my late grandmother’s collection, and I don’t picture her ever half-swapping sides. Also, any guesses on the age? It played amazingly well and no axle rust. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/a/9/c/a9c5303f8d2a2f922b9463fc18ebba925b0d44ee.jpeg) ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/3/6/5/3656c0ca1932fea1c5ef5d006be09ba88c1f2d7f.jpeg) ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/a/7/2/a723f3752ad219a8dd6f7494a554472b8f591f0a.jpeg) ---

Yeah, I’ve got some like that, it’s from the factory. I _believe_ the little butterfly logo is late 60’s early 70’s. ---

That’s cool. It’s a weird color combo choice, but maybe it makes sense for the 60s/70s? I found this in the Pizza Hut box where my grandmother stored her yoyo collection. ---
