1930s Duncan Beginner's Yoyo in Black and Beautifully Aged Yellow Paint antique wheel A perfect gift for someone

A perfect gift for someone embarking on a new flight of sorts

and to my eye this is definitely that

with perhaps bit of distress

I would guess late 19th century

I'd never seen a stencil wheel like this before

1930s Duncan Beginner's Yoyo in Black and Beautifully Aged Yellow Paint antique wheel A perfect gift for someoneI 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.
