For your consideration is this vintage yo-yo produced by Benjor Products, Inc. of Torrance, California. All I was able to locate for this company was other patents dated to the 1970s and speculate this to have produced during that time frame. The yo-yo is constructed of wood, possibly walnut. The yellow cord extends 37 inches from the wooden piece. The wooden outer shell measures 3.4 inches in diameter x 2 inches thick. There is a brass plate on top that reads " Executive Yo Yo". The box that comes with the toy is actually quite hilarious.....Here are the slogans printed on the box's sides:
- Get more recreation... yo-yo while pushing buttons or telephoning
- Beats doodling or napping during dull meetings
- Impress your boss! Demonstrate your ability to keep things moving
- For the wheel who moves in big circles
- Humanize your executive image
- Illustrate Clancy's Corollary (unproved): The faster things go down, the faster they come up
- Keep your audience awake...yo-yo while you talk
- Divert attention from opposing arguments...yo-yo while they talk!
This is a great gift for a coworker, boss, gag gift, or just a gift for the yo-yo enthusiast.
