What is this?

[Waylon]

A YYE forum member posted this. Any idea what brand it is or it's relative value?

If you took a picture of the whole kendama it would help. I believe it is one of the Pre Sakura kendamas with the older JKA Seal.

I'll see of I can get him to take one.

This would be a very old ken of some sort, thats a really old JKA seal.
The Sakuras and Fujis were produced in the 90s, before them were kens with these sort of seals, as well as the sakura blossom seals and mount fuji seals. Not sure what order those came in though. I believe the sort of seals pictured here were produced prior to the sakura blossom/ mt fuji seals though?

Gloken had an article on the history of the seals. I didn't see this one in it. I encouraged to OP to email them anyway.

I appreciate the input. I'm trying to help out a fellow yoyoer. He apparently found it at a thrift store.
