Texas Posted April 23, 2008 Share Posted April 23, 2008 I haven't thought about tops for years. The one I had was made out of some sort of hardwood, with like a brass pin to spin on. It looked antique, shaped like a small turnip. When I first got it it was highly polished, 'course I ruined it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Timbuck Posted April 23, 2008 Share Posted April 23, 2008 An advance the "Top" was the toy "Giroscope" ..I remember when my Dad brought one home he threaded some string around the shaft then pulled hard and it started spinning,he then put it on top of the teapot on the table...I was amazed to see this thing just stood there slowly swaying around on top of the teapot...it was just like Magic to a seven year old.
