Silver yo-yo's were made by Gorham and a few other smaller companies. Tiffany started making some off and on from the 1970's. All silver yo-yo's are rare. A substantial proportion of what is available are all on online sites and auctions. They are very underated and should be worth substantially more. These were toys for rich boys and girls. Fully marked. The outer casing is sterling silver only , the innards of the yo-yo are made of a more durable steel. 20 -30 more serious toy collectors can dry up the silver yo-yo market and put these pieces on a pricing pedestal that they deserve. Consider what some 1970's Duncan yo-yo's are worth and you have a bargain for these beautiful antiques. Price: $200.00 USD
