Poplarhead Posted August 23, 2009 Report Share Posted August 23, 2009 Nice yo-yos Dani - those mardi gras, confettis and Disney types are neat. I have not run across any locally in past. Heck down here old toys of any type are hard to get. My personal favorites are the Butteflys and tournament models. Don Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zaboo Posted August 23, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 23, 2009 wow Don, you and hubby could probably talk about yoyos for hours! lol and you know exactly what he's looking for!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poplarhead Posted August 23, 2009 Report Share Posted August 23, 2009 I better not let Becky see the Master Tray or she may want to work a trade :-). Actually she has a couple in that that color already so I am safe!I don't even know where all my yo-yos are packed. We had a relative's young girl live with us for a year and half because her single mother went to Iraq so the yo-yos got packed up from that room along with marbles and other items. Now the wooden tops are in marble room............ Don Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zaboo Posted August 23, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 23, 2009 lol! when ya find them again, give me a yell!! and a list of what else you collect. sounds like our house.... something different on every floor and room. it was hard to have a simple guest room. the music room doubles sometimes as a guest room tho. Alan B. loved that room. it's almost entirely 1960's to 70's stuff.(rat finks stuff, old original posters. cocal cola stuff, literally thousands of LP's)... god yes, it is everywhere!heehee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poplarhead Posted August 24, 2009 Report Share Posted August 24, 2009 Dani: We want one of those music rooms but house is too small. We have thousands of albums and 45s also but they are hidden, boxed up or are in closets along with extra turntables. I have a small room that was built as a "mud room" between garage and living room that would like to put the albums in but it now houses the thousands of remaining comic books from my once large collection and a bunch of may marble boxes and loose marbles not in the marble room! The upstairs rooms have an eclectic mix of collectibles including Pezs, Barbies, toys, old baseball memorabilia, some marbles items, unusual comic items, games, old fishing items, autographed Science Fiction items and books, etc. The favorite rooms of visitors (museum was what one friend said...). Garage sales and flea markets 20 years ago used to be fun when you could get a Beatles album for a quarter ..... Don Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ann Posted August 25, 2009 Report Share Posted August 25, 2009 Thank you all. Now I don't feel quite so wierd, being a marble freak who also has a stash of yoyos (just a few, but nice old ones!), toy horses made before 1960, the whole series of Hartland western horsemen (large champs and small champs, except for the very very very rarest), some Hopalong Cassidy stuff, some shells, mineral specimens, some . . .

Poplarhead Posted August 26, 2009 Report Share Posted August 26, 2009 Nice yoyos Kevin - I would work a trade for marbles if interested also. Hey dani as a kid around 1962 I saw a special set of Duncan jewel yoyos in a wooden box - 4 yoyos to the set. Has hubby ever seen one of these sets? I have never seen one advertised. This picture with four different colors reminded me of that set. Don Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
feelnmarbleous Posted August 26, 2009 Report Share Posted August 26, 2009 Those aren't mine, i was seeing if Dani was interested because i may be able to get them fairly cheap... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zaboo Posted August 26, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 26, 2009 check your PM kevin... I LOVE the scotty dog!!!!too cool! we certanly seem to have a lot in common... and I have found that almost all marble collectors also collect other things! maybe that would be a fun new thread! what else does everyone collect besides the little round glass balls? Nope Ann, you're not weird at all! LOL! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
david Chamberlain Posted August 28, 2009 Report Share Posted August 28, 2009 I've always considered my Freddy Krueger yo yo a totally off-the-wall yo yo variation. I even have an extra in its bubble pack(1989). I do consider Duncan the King of Yo Yos. David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph Posted August 28, 2009 Report Share Posted August 28, 2009 do ya'll collect Alox yo-yo's too? they're not fancy. but they're marble-relatable! edit: actually I don't know how fancy they are. there was a "4 jewel" model - just saw a ref to it at a yo-yo site.

david Chamberlain Posted August 28, 2009 Report Share Posted August 28, 2009 I pick up 'subject' yo yos more than I do manufacturers. I'm thinking that Alox yo yos have got to be a tough one to come by but I don't know the intracacies of yo yo collecting. David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph Posted August 28, 2009 Report Share Posted August 28, 2009 they weren't called yo-yos. Apparently 'flying disks' (sp?). which I would have guessed meant frisbees if someone had asked me before today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
