Old Wood Spinning Tops

1940's Classic Toy Set of 4 with Strings

No plastic here! Royal Champion Tops. 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 1 ¼ inches high and comes with the original string cord. Unused set. 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. They come in green, blue, yellow 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. You are not buying the box full. You are bidding on a set of 4, one of each color, with the strings, as shown in front of the box in the photo below. This item is typical of stuff in the large Dime Store merchandise finds we made. You get the set of all 4. We pack them securely and send it First Class U.S. Postal.
