Throwing Top. These tops have been in use as toys for at least several thousand years. This one is a bit more refined, with a high-carbon-steel tip, and a Madrona body. Great outdoor toy, skill-building potential is huge, with many tricks similar to a yo-yo. Includes paper instructions, and string.
