Spinning Top

These little tops are a bunch of fun. Just give one a twist with your thumb and finger and drop it on the table to spin for upward of twenty seconds. (You may be better spinners than we are …)  Play alone or compete to see whose top spins the longest!

Based on tops in the Museum of London and in Bruges. 15th or 16th century. To see them in motion: https://www.facebook.com/BillyAndCharlie/videos/10155072594234735/.
