Product Description
This Upside-Down spinning top,often referred to as the Tippe Top, has a rather unique quality. It actually turns itself upside down and spins on its stem all by itself! Originally patented back in 1891 by Helene Sperl of Germany, Danish engineer Werner Ostberg created his own version in 1950. His inspiration came from a visit to South America where he had seen locals playing with a small, round fruit. When they turned it by the stalk, much like an old-fashioned spinning top, it would spin for a second and the invert itself and spin on its stalk.The top is bipartite, clinch gudgeon glued, providing an inseparable bond of each component, painted and varnished and complies with European safety standards. You will also find the companys trademark burn line along its center.
