  • Royal produced many variations on the Tournament style during the 1950s and 1960s. Some had sticker seals and others had stamped seals. Some featured the chevron along with the crown; chevron crowns always had five points. A representative price for these yo-yos was 69¢. Some models, particularly during the 1950s were jewelled. Royal tended to put jewels on the backside of the yo-yo, jewels across the face were less common. Royal would also use a different marque to sell yo-yos, such as Chico, alledgedly a nickname of Joe Radovan, the founder of Royal.
