Just a sweet old toy spinning top, c. 1950s or so. Made of wood with a metal tip, it is painted blue around the top and red on the base. I've been thinking it would be nice to build a whole collection of these, which come in a terrific array of colors; I think they're just great little objects!
2 1/2" tall with a widest diameter of 1 5/8", with some loss of the blue paint and rusting of the metal.
