Old Wooden Spinning Tops - Set of 2 antique report cards All in great conditionI just love these old wooden spinning tops as objects, and I believe this pair are probably a hundred years old at least. As they should be, they are quite worn all over, with dings and scrapes and some dryness to the wood. In great structural shape and good for a spin, though also nice just on the shelf. Larger: 2 1 2" tall x 1 3 4" d. Smaller: 2" tall x 1 1 2" d.
