Large Old Wooden Spinning Top vintage stacking blocks While unsigned

While unsigned

probably late 20th century

but I think this just adds to its aura

I'd love to know what this is

and this may be my favorite of them yet

Large Old Wooden Spinning Top vintage stacking blocks While unsignedI love old wooden spinning tops just as a form, and this is an especially lovely one, as pure a form as can be, with a great patina to boot. Heavy and smooth, I'd probably put it on the desk to use it as a paperweight, picking it up occasionally to give it a twirl around. (I believe there was likely once a separate winding device that attached to wind it up and properly get it spinning.) 5" tall x 2 3 4" diameter at widest. Excellent overall
