    It's a toy and popular souvenir item, a sealskin Eskimo yo-yo. The idea is to get them rotating in opposite directions.

    This guy shows an example of cone shaped seal skin yo-yo, but doesn't use it in this video.

    A toddler can do it. With a nose bonk at the end!

    Billy, I don't know if you are an Ebay seller, but if you say "seal skin" your listing will be immediately closed down.

    I had a set of these for sale on Ebay, didn't know the rules, it was pulled immediately. As memory serves, they even called me on the phone!
