A fun gift for a vintage toy collector, a playful piece of decor for a child's room, or a treat for a lucky child who still loves a classic spinning top.
Ohio Art Company, founded in Archbold, Ohio in 1908, began making toys in 1917 and went on to become famous for the Etch A Sketch. This top is a charming example of their earlier metal lithography work — a colorful zoo train illustration on top, bold shapes and stripes below, all balanced on a sturdy wood handle.
