Comments left:	Duncan Yo-yos were first marketed in 1968. The 1970s proved to be the heyday of Duncans. They ranged from ordinary wooden ones to Butterflies that were battery powered to simulate neon lighting.The prices ranged from a dollar for a plain woodie to five dollars for a battery-run Butterfly. Interest in yo-yos died out with the influx of video games in the early 1980s. I have one TV commercial for a mid-priced Tournament Edition Yo-yo from 1971. Duncan had a low advertising budget in the early years, as this was from a local (syndicated) cartoon program. 1972 to 1975 were the peak years for Duncan, or yo-yos in general.
