Les & Arthur Janetzki were senior citizens when they started making and throwing boomerangs in the 1960s. The Janetzki brothers continued with their hobby until their death nearly three decades later. Les & Arthur made very few fine art boomerangs and they never sold them. Instead, they were given away as gifts to other competitors at Aussie tournaments. Les constructed the boomerang. He made his own plywood by laminating packing box boards together. Les then shaped the airfoils and sanded the boomerang surface smooth. Next, Arthur would apply art to the boomerang. When they were finished, the final product was a beautiful piece of flying art. Janetzki boomerangs were legendary for their high performance in events such as Accuracy, Consecutive Catch and Australian Round. These boomerangs were so popular that they were nicknamed the "Rolls Royce" of the boomerang world. At Brother Brian Thomas' suggestion, they started painting the initials "RJR" on the underside of the elbows. "RR" represented "Rolls Royce" and "J" representing "Janetzki". These boomerangs are almost never sold. Prices almost always start near $100 for unpainted examples. Some of the finest art examples have sold for more than $1,000!

This "Admiral Hat" omega boomerang was made in the mid 1980s. It incorporates sparkle tape as decoration. The sparkle tape is placed over red plastic tape which also wrapped around the elbow at the center. "RJR" is printed on the elbow in black paint on top of the red plastic tape. This Admiral Hat has moderate art, but does not have animal art or crossed spears that are often found on this model. This boomerang has been used, but it is in excellent condition. It came out of the Janetzki's personal throw kit. This is an wonderful Janetzki collectable that you can throw.
