Solid Walnut Spinning Toy Top with Copper Detail C.P Huntington train and “Precious and Other StonesI just love this solid walnut top as an object; such a beautiful shape! To make it spin, one would just need to wind a string around the wooden peg at top, inside of the copper handle, then hold the copper handle lightly while pulling the string to get it spinning.
