Old Wood Spinning Top1950's Classic SpinnerToy with String and Still in the Package No plastic here! The spinning wood top is a classic toy that was popular from the 1800's through the mid 1950's when plastic toys took over. This wood top has the typical characteristic inverted tear-drop shape. It's 3 inches high, has a metal point, and comes with the original string. Unused and still in the package. Toys like this were fun. Kids used to have contests to see who could keep theirs spinning the longest. Once the fancy plastic toys started coming out, classics like these died out never to be made again. We found a few unopened boxes of them that were stored for decades on a back shelf at a dime store distributors. We have them left in Green and Red. No scratches or dings, unused and in Perfect Condition. The photo below shows the dime store display box they came in, along with one top of each color.
