This top is an authentic reproduction of an early 19th-century spinning, wooden top. Tops come in many different shapes and sizes and have various names like Peg Top, Humming Top, Whip Top, Spinning Top, and Finger Top. Some are used with string; others just have a long round stem like our Finger Top, for spinning between the thumb and first finger. This cute little top fits in your pocket and travels a long way to quiet a curious youngster on just about any flat surface. Play with two tops and see which top spins the longest.
