CAJUN SPINNER'S Terracotta 440 B.C. Lasered Wood Yeaux-Yeaux (Yo-Yo)

Description: CAJUN SPINNER'S Terracotta 440 B.C. Natural Wood Lasered Yeaux-Yeaux (Yo-Yo): WHAT BUYERS OF THIS YEAUX-YEAUX ARE SAYING: "To be honest, I don't collect much anymore. Not much interested in the new stuff. Your products are the first to excite me in a while. Old school wood." "Another great transaction from this *model seller*. A unique take on these quality, wood yo-yos. A lot of great thought and work went into this brand. Thank you!" Whenever you look-up information on the history of the yo-yo there is almost always a picture of and reference to an ancient Greek vase on display at the National Museum of Athens, Greece dating to 440 B.C. showing a boy throwing down a yo-yo. These ancient childhood toys were most often made out of terracotta clay, metal or wood. The last photo in this listing is a photo of the actual museum vase and the picture of the boy is located on the inside at the bottom of the vase (the vase is not part of this listing). The 440 B.C. Yeaux-Yeaux features a descriptive title lasered on one side, and picture of the boy yo-yoing lasered on the other side. Upon seeing this design one former world yo-yo champion said, "What a great idea. I can't believe no one has ever done this before."

PRAISE FOR CAJUN SPINNER’S YEAUX-YEAUX’S: John “Doc Lucky” Meisenheimer, Jr, is the author of Lucky's Collectors Guide to 20th Century Yo-Yos: History & Values, the “bible” of yo-yo history and collecting. On his monthly Facebook show Doc Lucky’s Yo-Yo Talk, Episode 66 (02/03/23) said of the new Cajun Spinner’s Yeaux-Yeaux: “A beautiful line of fixed axle yo-yos, and I will tell you these look like they’re going to be highly collectible in the future.” And Lucky said of the Midnight Lightning Yeaux-Yeaux, “They were gorgeous. I think those yo-yos are fantastic. They are all very displayable yo-yos and that adds kind of the third ‘Lightning’ now that people need to add (to their collection) if they are going to have all three of the ‘Lightnings’.” The other two he was referring to were the 1950’s Duncan Litening, and the 1990’s Franklin Mint Duncan Litening reproduction. Of the Cajun Spinner’s Yeaux-Yeaux in general he said, “Pick up a set of these.” CAJUN SPINNER'S HISTORY: As the sole-proprietor I launched Cajun Spinner's Yeaux-Yeaux Company on February 02, 2023 to produce in limited quantities quality handcrafted classic wooden, fixed axle yo-yos, honoring the hobby's magical history, with a twist from my Cajun heritage. For almost 30 years I have been an avid collector of vintage, wooden yo-yo's and a big fan of the wonderfully creative, generous and talented yo-yo community. This release is the culmination of a dream to make a lasting contribution to our hobby and sport. There is no factory where my yeaux-yeaux's are created, just my imagination, a lathe, and my garage where I cut, sand, paint, inspect and test every yeaux-yeaux before sending it out with a big smile and a lot of love. The initial plan is that after the 4-yeaux-yeaux inaugural launch February 02, 2023, a new yeaux-yeaux (pronounced, "yo-yo") will be introduced every month, made available exclusively through eBay. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS: Many thanks to YoYoFactory for assisting with the lasering of the 440 B.C. Yeaux-Yeaux, and Ed Davidson of YoYoSpin for his encouragement and mentorship. Please see my other listings. I also sell various items thru eBay under the name of MYSHRALLBAYOU. If you have questions, you can utilize the Contact Seller option to Message me.
