The yo-yo has been around for at least 2,500 years. The earliest surviving yo-yo dates back to 500 BC and was made using ceramic disks. The yo-yo was probably used as a weapon for 400 years in the Philippines, though the chairman of the American Yo-Yo Association’s History and Collecting Committee denies it. The world’s most expensive yo-yo, however, was made far more recently.
The expensive yo-yo was presented by country singer Roy Acuff to President Richard Nixon at the Grand Ole Opry in 1974. There to celebrate Mrs. Nixon’s birthday, the president reportedly attempted a few tricks before signing the yo-yo and giving it back to Acuff. When Acuff died in 1992, the yo-yo was sold for $16,029.
The most expensive yo-yo currently available for retail is Duncan’s Cold Fusion Yo-Yo. Made of aircraft-grade aluminum, the yo-yo also features Brake Pads and a precision ball-bearing axle. In fact, the world record for spin time was achieved using a Cold Fusion Yo-Yo. Depending on where you buy it, this professional yo-yo could cost you up to $250.
Just try not to kill anyone with these lethal and expensive weapons.
