>This is my latest lathe turned spintop...2� in diameter, 2 7/8� tall, weighs 74 grams, clear acrylic body with a florissant green screw top, and small storage compartment inside for string. And yes, the stand is left over from the last pizza we ordered.
Best regards,

>Nice looking spin top. Classic shape with decided improvements. Few kids today know the fun one can have with simple toys like that.

>Beautiful. I remember my first top. I had a ball with it. Where's the computer. Surely it has a gyro or lights or something. Nothing is made today that doesn't have all that fancy stuff.

>Ed, that is one super top! I collect tops and am a pretty good spinner myself, and I'd love to see how that would look spinning in my hand.
And yeah, those pizza things are great top holders. We call 'em 'Barbie house tables'.
