Found this no-stripe painted a couple of months ago to replace a black one I traded away some time ago. Just love it’s punchy color so much brighter than the red striped one’s…

I don’t have any Tom Kuhns and don’t want any, but they are really nice to see sometimes. It makes me think of how yoyo must have been back in the 1970s

Yes indeed. If only it were mine, but unfortunately that’s a picture of the national yo-yo museum’s TK collection.

Wow, that’s incredible. Truly the first of it’s time. It’s a shame so many people don’t know what a treasure that is.
