They have a chrome like finish and are excellently machined. Simply spin it as normal and watch it suddenly flip over and then continue to spin upside-down. These flip over tops (often known as a The Tipped Top) were originally invented in 1950 by the Danish engineer Werner Oostburg. His inspiration can from a visit to South America where he had seen local people playing with a small, round fruit. When they turned it by the stalk like an old-fashioned spinning top, it would spin for a second and then invert and spin on the stalk. However some credit should be given to Helene * who in 1891 patented a Wendekreisel in Germany. However the patent ran out and it was never mass produced. These tops are made from polished aluminum and are 29mm in diameter. ## Features - These Are Highly Polished Solid Metal Flip Over Tops - They Have A Chrome Like Finish And Are Excellently Machined - Simply Spin It As Normal And Watch It Suddenly Flip Over And Then Continue To Spin Upside-Down ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B004U3SPF0 | | Age Range Description | Youth | | Best Sellers Rank | #204,046 in Toys ( See Top 100 in Toys ) #194 in Spinning Tops | | Brand Name | Gyroscope.com | | Color | Silver | | Item Dimensions | 29 x 29 x 29 millimeters | | Item Dimensions W x H | 5W x 2H centimeters | | Item Weight | 41 Grams | | Manufacturer | Gyroscope.com | | Manufacturer Part Number | 6434821 | | Manufacturer recommended age | 3 years and up | | Material Type | Aluminium | | Model Number | 6434821 | | Number of Items | 1 | | Number of Packs | 1 | | Size | S | | Theme | Educational, Science | | UPC | 792736434821 793631659234 | | Unit Count | 1 Count | ## Images ![Metal Flip Over Top (Tippie Top) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71SBtSBEl+L.jpg) ![Metal Flip Over Top (Tippie Top) - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71+ZQCROGpL.jpg) ![Metal Flip Over Top (Tippie Top) - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61aB93K-7CL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: What is this?
