This is the original brass die / marking stamp for Duncan's O-BOY yo-yo. Used after the purchase from Flores but before Duncan started using his own name on them. Circa 1929 1930. Over all it measures appx 1" x 2 1/8" x 13/16", with the double ring stamp being just under 1" diameter. A truly magnificent piece. Could definitely be a highlight in your yoyo collection. Last picture is flipped to show how it would read as a stamp.
Thanks for looking. Good luck.

Condition is "Used". Pedro Flores was a US immigrant from the Philippines. He built the very first yoyo factory in Santa Barbara, California in 1928. Flores sold the yoyo trademark to Duncan in 1930, and Duncan made the yoyo famous nationwide soon afterward.
IF YOU WON THE CONTEST YOU WOULD RECEIVE A PATCH AND A YOYO! MOST KIDS WOULD TAKE THE YOYO AND THROW AWAY THE PATCH OR SEW THE PATCH ON A JACKET. LATE 1920'S PEDRO FLORES YOYO COMPETITION PATCH--- I'M A YOYO JR.
In the late â??20s, Donald F. Duncan saw a child playing with a Flores yo-yo and realized it had the potential to be a nationwide sensation. Instead of having the string tied to the axle, as was traditional with bandalores, the Flores yo-yoâ??s string looped around the axle, which let the toy spin at the end of the string.
