1930s Duncan Beginner's Yoyo in Black and Beautifully Aged Yellow Paint paperweights and a sampling of pages

and a sampling of pages with writing but not at all comprehensive on those

framed with light green paper

with hand-painted text revealed when one removes all the drawers

and quite fabulous toys

which I backed with another piece of black paper to cover just a sliver of gap to either side

1930s Duncan Beginner's Yoyo in Black and Beautifully Aged Yellow Paint paperweights and a sampling of pagesI found this Duncan yoyo in Pennsylvania and it struck me as a very beautiful thing as well as endless amusement! The yellow paint on it is really glorious, as is the wear to it. And it is a very excellent one to yoyo with. Feels to me like high time to bring yoyo ing back as an art and a pastime. This makes me very happy, a perfect little thing. 2 1 16" d x 1 1 4", perfectly worn, original string, works perfectly.
