BMT Monarch Yo-Yo – Vintage Precision Aluminum Ball-Bearing Yo-Yo (Discontinued)
The BMT Monarch Yo-Yo is a vintage, precision-crafted yo-yo produced by BMT KCMO, a small but highly respected manufacturer based in Kansas City, Missouri. BMT earned a strong reputation in the late 1990s and early 2000s for producing high-quality billet aluminum yo-yos with smooth ball-bearing axles, and the Monarch stands as one of their most recognizable models.
This yo-yo is a true collector’s piece. BMT ceased production around 2001, making original Monarch yo-yos increasingly rare on today’s secondary market. Some examples, including this one, may be described as “Customized by Dif-e-Yo,” which refers to an individual owner or seller modification and not a separate manufacturer or official collaboration.
