Bass & Bass – "BIBO" Magic Spinning Top

Description

The "BIBO" spinning top works with a simple flick of the wrist: spin it on its metal tip and watch as, thanks to the principle of centrifugal force, the tin-stamped "snakes" come to life and dance around the top while it remains upright. Its vintage aesthetic—both the top and its 1950s-style illustrated box—makes it a toy as attractive to play with as it is to collect.
