  2. Toys and Games - Tops

    Share Share Post
    Tops were often made from used spools. One end of the spool was pared almost to a point. Then a short piece of rod was taken to fit the hole in the spool and the end of the stick was also pared to a point. The pointed part was put to the ground and spun in this way.
