Description: Vintage Tom Kuhn Silver Bullet Yo-Yo Very Nice condition. Works great! (Only one yoyo is for sale in this listing.) From seller: This may or may not be the special edition anodized one, I just don’t know for certain. It has a gray appearance, unlike a high polish, but it’s possible that the aluminum has oxidized over time. I have two shiny polished aluminum SB1s that look very different from this one. (See the two comparison photos of the three together. The one for sale in this listing is the one leaning on the blue carry bag. The photos of three yoyos is for comparison purposes only.) The camera just doesn’t do the yoyo justice, it makes it look shinier than it actually is. I owned and recently sold one of the anodized SB-2 Silver Bullets so I know what they look like. I’m just not 100% sure about this one. It is highly collectible regardless, and comes with some nifty vintage accessories also! Thanks for looking. From yoyo.wikia.com Manufacturer Tom Kuhn Release date 1984 Shape Modified Color Various Weight 51 grams Dimensions Diameter: 56.7mm Width: N/A Material Aluminum Bearing size Wooden axle sleeve Response system None The Silver Bullet (also known retrospectively as the SB-1) by Tom Kuhn is a yo-yo first released in 1984. It was the first-ever yo-yo to feature a full-metal body, which is machined out of aircraft-grade aluminum. It was also named for the bullet-shaped axle hubs that it had on its sides. It also boasts a replaceable wooden axle sleeve in the vein of yo-yos like the No Jive 3-in-1 and the ProYo. At some point in its history, the Silver Bullet underwent a small redesign in profile, and this later model was sold by What's Next Mfg./BC Toys well into the 1990's. The original Silver Bullet, sold out of Doc Kuhn's San Francisco shop, and the more common re-designed version are both highly-prized collector's items by today's standards. There was also a rare anodized version, of which only fifty were produced. Instead of bare polished aluminum, the yo-yo is clear anodized giving it a dull metallic color. The Silver Bullet, with its aluminum body, had planted the seed for a new legacy of full-metal yo-yos, such as in 1990, where its successor was introduced to the world. In 2012, the original Silver Bullet returned, alongside the SB-2 and the limited-production SB-3 in a special collector's set, of which only 50 were produced. Please see pictures for details.
