Kalmartrissan is the name of a yo-yo that has been made in almost the same way since 1932. The company that makes it, Elfverson & Co., lies in Påryd, about 30 km from the city of Kalmar in Småland, Sweden, which explains the name of the toy. The yo-yo is unique in that is is made in wood and in one-piece (it is therefore not glued together, as most yo-yos are). The wood is beech. The yo-yo has a logo depicting the Castle of Kalmar, one of the best kept renaissance castles in Europe.
