Roy Rogers and Trigger Yo-Yoa Round-up King Top
I picked up this yo-yo at an antique mall in Grain Valley, MO. It was apparently a brand of yo-yo that was officially approved by Roy "the King of Cowboys" himself sometime in the 1950's. They were manufactured by All Western Plastics, Inc in Scottsbluff, Nebraska but never made it to retail due to the factory being destroyed by a tornado. Barrels of these things were salvaged by either employees or townsfolk, and somewhere down the line their grandkids put em up for sale with the story. Pretty good story, and a really good yo-yo.
