Vintage Fli-Back Wooden Yo-Yo Double Circle Eagle - two sided Stamp 50s

Fli Back company was founded in the 1930s and started making yo-yos in the 40s.

This yo-yo features the double circle eagle seal.  It is on both sides (sometimes fli-back only printed the seal on one side).  It was likely made in late 50s or early 60s.  This one is in fair condition with some paint loss and the seal on the blue side is very light.  Looks like it has paint loss on the edge in area.  Probably got whacked against a sidewalk somewhere by some little brother throwing a yoyo with a string that was too long (I'm speculating).
