Duncan SpinMaster Return Top
This was a wood Duncan shaped slightly different than the American Tournament models

Duncan Gold Wings
A Duncan that is not only missing "yo-yo" but also the word "butterfly"

Duncan Imperial Yo-Yo
An Imperial from 1997. For less than one year, Playtoy Industries held the "yo-yo" trademark and distributed Duncan products in Canada at the same time. This was the only period, other than possibly the early 1930's, that Duncans were sold in Canada as yo-yos and not as return tops.

This yo-yo transformed from yo-yo to motorcycle. Made in Taiwan. Even though the distributor was Canadian, this yo-yo was most likely destined for the US market

Tops

Orbiting Astro Tops
Right model is the more common version with chain in the top
Left model has a graphic of the Earth in the center of the sticker and no chain
